well i completely disagree. he's got a point in his first paragraph, maybe a little different though. If all you saw is C# code from C# people you won't care one bit about the disgusting mess they create.
But if you've learned a whole range of languages you'll try to come up with more elegant solution. He tried that, but as gecko pointed out the errors were not in trying, but rather in his results.
I work in a C# dev house now, and boy what is considered a good solution there (and in their contractors works) is so sad I don't even know what to call it.
But then, you look at the latest c# version and it has quite a few interesting features, people just don't use it. My guess is that they've just been doing it since c# 2.0. And the fact that c# is not really made for web development, which is what it seems to be most taught doesn't really help either.
