We have been using C# (w/WPF) for controlling scientific/laboratory/robotic instruments since 2009. The work is challenging, rewarding, and enjoyable. If we had to start over today, the decision would be harder, but I think there is a strong chance we would choose a multi-threaded C# design running on desktop & laptops again. Limited availability of C# developers is a negative (hence the motivation for this post). The work that the Roslyn team is performing is a positive.

Thank you, I will do that. I really appreciate codeproject's service to the software community.

Articles from my blog (blogger) are automatically consumed just fine. However, when I update my blog entries, the articles in codeproject are not automatically updated (at least not within in a week). I realize I could manually copy-paste from my blog into the codeproject article using the edit feature... but that seems a bit barbaric. What am I missing?
