I agree with your negative concerns about the choice.  But from a 
testing point of view, any language is just as good as any other *IF* it 
can be proved as such through thorough testing.  I would hope there are 
well defined SW QA requirements.  Using C# just opens up a lot of 
possible quality holes that might be avoided with some other programming 
language.  Every hole needs to be tested.  Every test costs money and 
time.  It sounds like your customer is wearing blinders and only looking 
at how easy it would be for the programmer to code it.  I think if 
you're opposed to C#, present a case in terms of dollars that will 
convince them the choice is ill considered.  It's always all about money 
after all.
