What features of Java do Java programmers miss when working in C#?

Other than, of course, great portability. C# has more limited cross-platform portability (Mono).

I'm thinking more about data structures and ways to express algorithms.

I am just esthetically prefer Java. I think Java is simpler language. There is no properties, no defined operators, no delegates - for me it makes everything more clear. I know only one language that is comparable in transparency - C.
I also liked Java collections Api and general API more - just preference.
Java has checked exceptions and this makes dealing with exceptions more easy - you mostly know which exceptions you can expect.
JavaDoc - is more clear that C# XML Docs, and in my opinion leads to better quality API descriptions.
I prefer Java Strict package / folder structure to unclear C# conventions.
