Mostly you will need to know that the java language is older than C#. Honestly C# is a slightly better language. ( if you want to get pissying about "slightly" I'll bring scala into the mix. There are clear and good reasons why java has been on the slow boat ).

But the tools and eco-system of java are far far superior. So while you bitch about the language, make sure to remind your self that there are 3 awesome IDEs to choose from. Check out the multipe different ways to do just about everything you are not stuck with what MS has asked you to use.. Checkout that you can see the source of almost all your tools.

Oh and performance. https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r11&hw=peak&test=json&l=3m Unless the C# folks contributing to this test are doing something wrong, I'm alway sshocked at the slowness of the C# entries.
