I was asking a question, you seem kind of defensive.  Is your skill
set bothering you?

Understood about the cross-platform issue, it's just that I find less
and less organizations which have anything other than Windows as the
primary OS, and I am finding the performance of C# (on Windows, of
course) to be rather alluring.  It definately depends on what type of
software you're developing, but increasingly I'm finding it hard to
justify incurring a performance hit in order to have the ability to
potentially run my software on an OS that none of my clients are
using.

I also understand about the open source projects and frameworks, but
the .Net framework itself has an astonishing level of functionality
within the framework itself -- and you can always find open source
projects to fill in specific needs if that's your thing, it's just a
matter of searching around a bit.

The biggest problem I'm facing right now is that I've got 10+ years
invested in Java development, and although I'm proficient in C# as
well, I'm afraid that I will be considered a "less experienced" C#
person when one glances at my resume.  And, I'm finding out that to
really be at the top of your game, its better to specialize in one or
the other, so it's put me at somewhat of a crossroads in evaluating
where I want to go with regard to language specialty.

I agree that the numbers aren't necessarily meaningful, and if nothing
else it's only one source of information -- but there are companies
that derive what they are willing to pay directly from this kind of
web site.

Perhaps what was more interesting to me is that pay for Java used to
be quite a bit higher than pretty much every other language, and that
trend seems to have turned around quite a bit.

I asked a recruiter I know what he thought about the overall market
for java/c# and he said he sees openings in both languages roughly
equally, but he has noticed a trend of many companies who had large
scale java projects have been disappointed with the results overall
and are looking to other language platforms (although he didn't say
they were specifically looking at c#/Windows).
