I don' fully agree, only because I was rather on the other side of the fence with Delphi/C++ Builder. :)
I always considered .NET a step backwards, versus doing something similar to what Borland was doing with Delphi/C++ Builder, meaning C# and VC++ should have provided better tooling based on COM, and then follow up with VB7.
Ironically, when they tried to actually do that, with WinRT, they messed up the whole execution.
