Depends on the task.. What if it was a hardware driver? More so, it's not
the language, it's the things you can do with it, coupled with the APIs
possible and already present. I know I'm already favoring .NET as a general
platform for API tools in the gaming world. The games still need to be fast,
so C++ for them for now, but C# (and others) solve the tool problem quite
nicely. And the .NET library is not the least of the reasons; it's easy to
do so.
