But it will improve in time, I'm sure. I, for example, am trying to finish (in my spare time) a small validator for ASP.NET Webforms which I want to publish as open-source. I have tried SubText, DasBlog and BlogEngine.NET and they all seem to suck. I mean if I recall right BlogEngine.NET at some point(s) loads ALL the posts in memory (RAM) which is ok for small and medium blogs but for LARGE blogs that would be unacceptable IMHO. Studying them I drew the conclusion that I'd rather write my own blog software rather than use any of these. Oh... and Community Server is a real bloatware. Paint.NET is on the other hand a real good example, just as you put it in this entry. I use it mainly. I don't have other similar software installed. I used to have Paint Shop Pro (can't stand Photoshop - too big, yes it can do EVERYTHING but too fat) but since Paint.NET I don't really need something else. That reminds me... I should donate a small amount to its creator. Yes, open source software for .net is still lacking a lot today. But it will improve in time, I'm sure.
