The wide selection of jobs out there for .net programmers and how easy it was for me to ask for a salary over $100K tells me I have no regrets. If something better comes along with just as many opportunities and salary I'll move on to that. No big deal. Its not like c# was the first language I programmed in.
But it has more to do with the companies that specify that only C# is allowed or only VB.Net. There are times I'd like to use another language, but I haven't had opportunity to.
languages popping up. Academia and commercial IT like a set of limited choices.
At teh moment I can be coding in Delphi, C# and Ironpython on one task, with a bit of SQL and XML thrown in. Would I like more language choices, for what purpose.
A better functional language than F#, could be, a better OO one than C#, not seeing it. Pascal# for unmanaged instead of C++, well okay but not many would agree.
I think the biggest though unsurprising disappointment for me is how few are looking at what they want to code and think, that would probably be easier to describe in language X, instead of reaching for the familiar/proscribed tool. You know the people who think language is programming instead of language is for programming.

want to program in something else, when there is C# 4.0? ... For me, its the best thing that happened to .NET . i would rather have a small and a neat house than a large unkempt one.. If a person does not want to do C# , he/she can use all the verbosity of VB.NET.. I have heard rave reviews about F# as well in recent times, so thats cool 
the reason for it now is itself.
Asfor why.
Try doing something that needs dynamic typing in c#...
For most of the work I do, C# does the job, but sometimes it just won't.
