That's strange since I'm learning C# right now, and most of the stuff I've
been doing is through console applications.  What are the limits to C# and
what it can do in terms of console applications?

Are you interested in creating a console mode environment with a 
read-execute-print-loop (REPL)?  Generally, this requires a dynamic 
language that includes an "Eval" function that can evaluate arbitrary 
code at runtime and display the result.  C# and Visual Basic do not have 
such a feature.  JScript .NET, IronPython, IronRuby, F#, Boo, and Nemerl 
-- all .NET languages -- do.
