I think Spring.NET is too verbose and too big. I would rather use few well tested and idiomatic C# frameworks as an alternative to Spring.NET E.g. IOC - You can use MEF which is part of the framework. OR my personal favorite Ninject. Web Applications - Without a doubt ASP.NET MVC. Aspect Oriented Programming - Postsharp DataAccess - I do not think ORM technology is mature enough to use it for any complicated work. For simpler things, Dapper does the trick. I believe in using best tool for a given problem instead of using one monolithic framework. I especially don't like Spring framework because it needs too much configuration in terms of XML files. I prefer configuration through code approach. Email me if you want to discuss more.
