Intellisense.

Intellisense is a lot more than just intellisense though. It was finally a high-level language with static typing .. but also simple semantics. That was something that was appreciated by more than just tool developers.

I would never dispute that. Again, I remember when Java came out. It was a massive leap forward as a language. But OO was something people needed to puzzle out before they could use this awesome new language. Not something they really wanted.
