I use C# w/ Windows Server for game servers but I'm in the process of migrating to Linux. Why? Because everything else I have runs Linux so managing an extra OS is a lot of overhead. And Windows Server automation is hugely painful compared to Linux. With Linux automation for example, you can go from Ansibel which is a wrapper around SSH to Chef/Puppet that are very very powerful but much more complicated. With Windows, you get crappy Chef/Puppet support and the MS automation tools (from what I've seen) are too complicated for most people. Even setting up remote Powershell access is painful compared to setting up sshd. In short, there's monetary reasons for running Mono as well.
