YourLanguageSucks is a wiki on theory.org that lists reasons why the most popular programming languages suck.  There are long lists of reasons why Java, JavaScript, C++ and PHP suck.  But the list for C# is very short:

• Supports ‘goto’.
• Two distinct sets of collections: non-generic and generic.  Stack and Queue have the same name in both their generic and non-generic flavors, but then we have Hashtable (non-generic) and Dictionary (generic).

The first reason is easy to discount: just avoid using goto!  The second reason is valid, but not really an issue if you use only generic collections, as I do.

Here is a collection of puns that only a C# programmer could appreciate:

• abstract art gallery() { … }
• bool me_over;
• byte me;
• c++;
• case in_point:
• char broiled;
• class action { … };
• const int pressure;
• Convert.ToString( hemp );
• decimal results;
• double jeopardy;
• Exception taken;
• event handling;
• for (score = 20; years == 7; ) { … }
• foreach (hot chick in this.room) { flirt(); }
• float valve;
• Graphics ex;
• int erupt;
• lock (this.up) { … }
• long john_silver;
• long walk(short pier) { … }
• object strongly;
• override your objection() { … }
• private property keep_out() { … }
• protected free speech() { … }
• public display of_affection() { … }
• return to_sender;
• short circuit;
• sizeof (the_situation);
• static cling free() { … }
• string cheese;
• struct by_lightning { … };
• take a; break;
• throw up;
• typeof (writer);
• uint rested;
• ulong for_love;
• unsafe { at any = speed; }
• using your.brain;
• virtual void in_my_heart() { … }
• void where_prohibited() { … }
• while (e_coyote) { … }

And for the grand finale:

struct SoftwareConsultant {
    double   salary;
    long     lunches;
    float    jobs;
    char     unstable;
    void     work;
    int      hiring_him_again;
    const    pain_in_the_backside;
    unsigned agreement;
    short    fuse;
    volatile personality;
    static   progress;
};
/* and there are no unions in sight */
