It's not something to be scorned simply because Microsoft developed it I am noticing that a significant amount of open source software is emerging from the C# development platform. Is the runtime 'open' (free 'as in freedom' software)? I am genuinely curious, is your current C# career in commercial

The reason for the question is that I assist others who have questions about the current trends in program development, and I myself am very interested in the current state of FOSS development (my own biases aside, I always am open to learning new things). The other thing I would like to know (all fud symantics and bias aside) from someone devoted to using C# for the last five years, do you think that the perceived performance problems of C#.NET programming is due to the experience/quality of the products themselves, or is it inherent in the (CLR) runtime? I remember when I was doing Java some time back I loved the language but I hated the runtime... and I didn't like JIT that much better. What's your take?
