   The .NET framework isn't even source available - you can't compile each version without microsoft's proprietary compiler that definitely doesn't insert proprietary malware.

     I know it's a bit petty, but I gotta admit it: I'm a bit sad that - given the myriad of better (more libre) options - the new Gnome site is built with a .Net framework, even though it's ostensibly open source. Just feels yucky, with the foul taint of MIcrosoft dependence on it.
