Open source doesn't happen much on Windows. It mostly happens on Linux, BSD and Macs, where free* and fully-featured developer tools (including usable command line) were easily accessible for years. .NET, on the other hand, is running pretty much only on Windows (I keep hearing that Mono is still not a production-ready thing). Don't expect people to write OSS for a platform they can't use for themselves. You have just chosen badly your environment for backend servers.
