Too simplistic. yo generator or npm init for example having selections, dropdowns and things like that (I just referenced them out of my head).

If you know python, there is a package called prompt-toolkit which does what you are looking for

Depending on how much effort you want to put into it, you may be able to use prompt-toolkit with IronPython (would have to use version 2.0 of prompt-toolkit since that supports Python 2.x) and then reference that in your C# applications
