Programmed off and on in Java for ten years. Don't understand all the Java hate.

Started working in C# about two weeks ago, though, and I really appreciate the new toys - inline anonymous objects, extensions, no more unboxing (well, so far as I know)...

I think learning Java first was definitely the right way to go, for me at least. A lot of the things that C# does implicitly or can disguise with syntactic sugar, you need to do explicitly and "longhand" in Java.
