But, there is an open-source version available. It's not at 2.0 yet, though.

How's the interop between Java and c/c++ (native) libraries? I know C# is getting better - there may not be as many native libraries, but it's pretty easy to hit native C++ libs from C#.

C# containers don't suck ass in .NET 2.0. They did prior to that, though.

Valmont is right, though - think in terms of requirements for the job at hand. There's no "best" tool, only the best tool for the job you're trying to do.
