Some is. I never warmed up to WPF and xaml and used Winforms for any GUIs 
I had to do. Microsoft would dearly love to kill Winforms but there is too 
much popular support. However ASP.NET which is the back end server part is 
much cleaner in C#. Some of the bad taste for C++ involves WCF which is a 
huge, sprawling pile of SOAP crap.
