I am also a .NET developer and I will not be getting a WP7 for the following reasons:
  1. They lied about it being a quantum leap ahead of my WP6.5 (I've had a wretched time with this phone)
  2. Droid appears to have delivered on their promises and steadily gotten better
  3. Even though Eclipse is a little clunky compared to Visual Studio, I have no problem writing Droid apps

Which WM6.5 did you have? I have a tilt 2 and it blows away any phone on the market (after I reloaded the ROM without all the ATT crap on it).

Problem with windows mobile was the carriers and hardward OEM were allowed to do whatever they wanted. Which ironically is the same problem Droid will face as well. Droid will sell in large numbers but the user experience will kill it as people complain after buying a cheap droid loaded with bloatware from the carrier. Same thing happened to windows mobile.
