"C# is tEh sux0R!! OMG!! LOL!!!11111" What typical slashdot nonsense...
First, I didn't see anyone advocating that embedded systems should be written in C. Second, any general solutions provider understands that there is NO one-size-fits-all solution to programming needs. I, for one, view each technology as a tool in my toolbox, and I always try to determine which one is most appropriate for the given problem or requirements. For example, if I needed to build a Windows-based front-end to a MySQL database, I would seriously consider C#. However, if I needed to write a Windows service that performs some resource-intensive data processing, I would lean more towards C.
Indeed, C# has its place, and there are MANY competent C# developers, many of whom have a plethora of experience with C and C++ but have chosen to move on to other things. Just because you don't like.NET, OOP, and C# doesn't mean that these people who use them are in any way less qualified than you.
But then again, I don't know why I bother saying these things. After all, if I based my world-view on Slashdot, I would believe that C, Linux, and Open Source will solve all of our problems.

Because......many developers (myself included) like Visual Studio and think it's better for Windows C/C++/C# development than Eclipse.
Wow...this is the worst idea I've heard in a really long time.
