I don't speak for the OSS community, but I am quite sure not many of them care enough about .NET to develop something like this.

Glad you don't speak for all of us...

An effort is already underway. Thankfully we have until the end of May to get this to a usable, somewhat mature state. RedGate's handling of this situation has lit a fire under me and a few other developers, and we're committed to releasing a free, open source competitor, and replacement, for Reflector.

RedGate really screwed the pooch on this one.

There are some outstanding open source .NET libraries that blow away what you can get in Java. Likewise, some COTS .NET libraries blow away equivalent Java libraries (e.g., for unit testing and inversion of control, query-driven source code analysis, etc.).

But comparing .NET to anything other than Mono is apples to oranges.

Indeed. The Mono folks may be interested in building something like this and glue it into MonoDevelop.
