Comparing C# and .NET to PHP is like comparing C to Perl.  C# and .NET,
including the inheritance limitations in the CLR, should be compared to its
direct foundation, Java, including the inheritance limitations of JNI.

When targeting .NET, one must keep several details in mind regarding
portability.
 - MS .NET is Win32-only, with portability issues on non-Win32 based Windows
 - One must explicitly target Mono for completely portable .NET, and it's a
small subset

I have seen 10 out of 10 portable .NET projects fail because they wrote for
Win32-only .NET.

Also remember that quantity != quality.  There are a huge slew (quantity)
of desktop-centric C#/.NET development jobs out there in many industries.
 But there is massive demand for hard-to-find (quality) for back-end,
real-time and other C and Java developers.

E.g., I run into this in the financial, defense and other industries
regularly.  There is a poor perception that C#/.NET runs a lot, when it's
the fact that it runs a lot of desktop-centric (Win32-only) corporate
developments.  But .NET has been basically kicked out most of the
time-critical trading (the LSE was their "last bastion" with heavy subsidy
of the integrator) and defense realm, among select others.
