C# 2.0+ in VS8 is freakin' awesome. You can say what you want about it being just Lisp or just this or just that, but it has unbelievably productive libraries and IDE support, and it just works. I've been die-hard Perl/Python and Vim for about 10 years, but 90% of the time now I'd reach for C#. Excellent as a language, unmatched for UI, and good at C++ interop.
XNA is similarly amazing and liberating if you've been slogging along in game development in C++ for far too long.
