You don't break previously compiled and working code. Brian Goetz had a wonderful talk about Java stewardship where this was emphasized.

#3I have enjoyed using C# for the odd desktop app project here and there, but haven't been able to use it much since it used to be Windows only. It's great that it's finally becoming a real option for cross-platform software!
Microsoft has some really smart people working on C#, which shows in how the language has evolved into a much more pleasant form than Java has.

Does .NET have a bad reputation for compatibility I don't know about? I thought the only breaking change was with generics in 4.0, still running programs originally compiled for 4.0 with 4.7 installed.
