C# or C++? ( As a single programmer )

This has been bothering me for quite a while. I already know all the basics of C++ + SDL library pretty well, but many people say C# is easier and faster for people to work alone. I kinda love C++, but I'm wondering if I should drop it and pass to C++ or keep learning more and stay with that one. I know all the differences like C#.Net is for windows only, easier control of problems with the program and stuff like that. I just want to know what you'd go ( or went for ) and why. Just don't put in VB, Python Java etc. Keep the replies between C# and C++, please. Thanks :D

if you are best in C++ then you can continu in C++, i you like to move C# its eajy to you i work on both. i like C# because it's easy to work, i you liek C++ is to much scope in programming side to much. it's fully depend to you. which one you work do your best. that you do

Its all up to your preference some people like C++ because of the C# being related to Microsoft and well some people in the programming community don't like Microsoft so they will use C++. I personally like C++ but as I am building simpler apps that don't need me to code nearly at that low of a level I can get away with using Python. But I don't like C# so I use C++ when I need to. But really it is up to you on which one you think is better and are more comfortable with.

I have used C# before, and I can tell you its pretty easy. If you have any experience with Java, you should try C#. Even if you don't have any experience, the language and the compiler of C# is really easy for a new starter or simple programmer.

Well it all depends on you from which language you are more good at or you like the most both are different c++ requires hardcore coding where C# also requires coding but its much easier than C++ i like both of them but most of the time i use C# becasue of its IDE which makes it lot easy if you are good at C++ for now i would say just learn C++ in depth and be very good at it

C# anyday! and with the advent of MONO C# is no more limited to windows.

Proceed as time goes by. If you only try one of the two options should not be a programmer. Not always in this world just trying C++ course. That's what will make you lag. C# was the development of C++ and you will not find it difficult to become a professional.
