The debate goes on. I think a lot of C++ programmers tried C# because it
was much easier to use early on in .NET development. We didn't get the
decent CLI until really recently. So, perhaps C++ was a little late to the
..NET party. That coupled with some of the utilities of Visual Studio
working in C# and VB and not C++ makes them even more compelling. C# is
pretty easy to learn for seasoned C++ programmers once they can get past the
idea of being restricted so much, but that's mostly a .NET thing, not C#'s
fault.

Bridge? C++/CLI is the most powerful language that generates .NET
executables. Why would any C++ programmer not use it?
