How many GB of pure crap are you forced to install on any windows system to be able to tweak, let alone develop, any software project developed with C#?
Even you acknowledged that you need to install a full blown IDE, such as the monstrocity that is MS Visual Studio, to do any software development in Windows.
In unix-like OSs, such as any linux distribution, all you have to do is pop open a basic text editor and compile/run the program.

- lostmsu 9y agoI think MSBuild was part of all .NET Framework distributions. Even if it was not, you could download SDK without VS. Its just that people use VS because they like it over a clueless text editor.
