Pros and Cons are largely relative, I guess. But it is often stated that the lack of memory manipulation in Java is missed by C, C++ programmers.

I've always noticed a problem with Java's speed. The last time I was using it (about a year ago) we had to make our programs in BlueJ for Uni... and that was horrible. Exceedingly slow, prone to freezing and not really a particularly useful development environment. I don't like BlueJ (I do like Java, though. I just preferred writing it in Notepad during college).

And I've never used C#, and wasn't entirely certain what 'autoboxing' meant, so I just took it on faith that the person who wrote the C# list knew more than me.

Thanks for your information!
