Yep, and check out System.Console for some horrors in the mono runtime.

  System.Console isn't something that most apps rely on. It's handy for printing something out in a tiny one-file test app, but generally not relied upon for bigger apps.

    Are you saying core .NET libraries are worthless? Because in that case what's the point? Why not just use Java.

      I'm sorry, but I have literally no idea how this post follows from the one you replied to?

    Are servers / daemons not a common usecase? Most, if not all, of the apps I write on a daily basis do not have GUI.

      Is this on a UNIX? If so, yes, it's common to write to stdout/stderr there. Not in Windows, though - anything which is long-running tends to be a Windows Service and there's no point writing to System.Console from there because no-one will see it! I haven't done much .NET on UNIX but if I was doing so, I'd probably want something a bit more UNIX-friendly than System.Console, though I know it does have the ability to deal with different streams.
