The most wise thing to do is to follow the leader, not ONLY because it is better in every regard but because it actually outsells the alternatives by a very large ratio. Java is here to stay, mainly because the most influential companies in enterprise computing want it to stay. Betting millions on a closed proprietary platform such as .NOT is fullishness, especially when you consider which company is behind it. I mean, come on ! Would you ever trust that company ? It sounds like a joke (how about a Micro$oft firewall ??).
Of course in our imperfect world political reasons play a strong role and .Not will have a percentage of the market. You could attribute that to M$ marketing but I just see inadequate higher education which produces incompetent IT consultants and biased customers.
