* C# has way to many features, it feels bloated

Most of the newer features make C# less cumbersome to use. I can't imagine using the language from ten years ago, in fact the first thing I do when working on a legacy app is to set langVersion=latest.

Sometimes less is more. It very easy for devs to use the language in completely different ways. I lean towards Go style in that regard. My ideal language would be like Go + Linq.

I've heard this argument before from the perspective of C# having more keywords and language features to be aware of than something else (in my particular argument, the other side was Java).

From this perspective, I can't say I disagree as such. If you look at the full set of language features, it sure is a lot of stuff to know about. The argument that it is too much, and that we should sacrifice expressiveness and signal to noise ratio in the code to keep the language simpler, I don't agree with.
