I think the introduction of LINQ and Lambdas was a game changer. I know lambdas was in other languages before, but it coupled with Linq was really useful, so much so that Java (the language that C# borrowed from) started to lean in that direction.

Lastly, C# made the concept of a language really supporting multiple paradigms (functional and object-oriented in this case) cool.
