I think Java had a bad reputation on desktop for a long time. Every application I remember using back in the day was extremely sluggish, felt like a skinwalker with regards to UI, and hogged memory.
FWIW; I use the Jetbrains suite every day and I don't have a problem with it at all. Compared to, say, VS Code, I think it is pretty snappy stuff.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
From the start C# was designed to run on any platform, which is why it compiled to IL and didn't use Win32 as the basis for the library. It didn't take long for JIT compilers to exist for other platforms.
You're just believing in MS propaganda. Yes, people created compilers and virtual machines for other platforms, but MS never considered this important. Their goal is to have only Windows as first class citizen in the .net world. If you write C# code you're tying yourself to a closed product that is restricted to a single platform.
I've been using C# on Linux for well over a decade. And on embedded systems. Mono has shipped on various Linuxes for well over 15 years at this point. I've been able to write a single binary that runs on windows and on Linux, no recompile needed, for this long.

Yes, one of us certainly has drank the koolaid.
