This reminds me quite a lot of my own history with .NET. I mostly bailed on it before the open source movement for .NET (and have spent a lot of time in the Mono mines because of it) but the hardest part of .NET as a toolmaker (I build stuff to build stuff because it makes me faster) is the mentality that "everything comes from Microsoft." It does often feel even today that the whole open source foundation aspect of it is still kind of a fig leaf. Which sucks. I like .NET a lot. I want it to do well. And it's easier to do well when you're not playing games with outside community interests.

(I know nothing about Paket and don't have a dog in this fight.)
