Not sure that C# is the more capable language - its still that F# is mostly a superset of C# although C# is catching up. I think they are on par w.r.t capability (i.e. CLR compatible). In terms of conciseness, and expression F# still wins IMO; and given some of the extra features can be more performant at times (e.g code templating/inlining vs just JIT attributes). Custom CE's (Async/TaskSeq), nested recursive seq's great for algorithm dev, DU's, etc. There's a lot of little features C# doesn't have (or don't quite fit) that when I write C# I'm forced to implement still more cruft code around.

IMO its generally more readable as well to non-dev than C# and to dev's outside the Java/C# ecosystem (e.g. Node, Go, etc). I've shown F# code back in the day to non-tech stakeholders and they typically understand it (e.g. data modelling).
