I think it just takes longer for .NET developers to get to that point with fairly new technologies. Most of them, incl. me, are too busy working as contractors and raking per-hour rates. We're not going home coding until the sun rise. I did find .NET contractors to have normal social lives, that might have something to do with the lacking community?
