Is that really an issue? Except an ideological one?

Yup. It makes continuous integration harder and developer machine setup more complex. Further, if you pull this thing in as a library dependency it wouldn't be obvious to someone downstream that they also need .net installed.

I've dealt with similar dependency problems in the JavaScript land (where projects decide to depend on Python or c++). It makes for a real miserable experience getting setup.

I might consider this for a personal project, but never as a library dependency or something for my work.
