It's just a different bag of hurt but no more so than node or ruby. Setting up ruby boxes makes me homicidal, whereas .net feels like nothing. But then I have much more experience with the latter, and 'evolved' with it and it's precursors.

That said, building .net is relatively trivial and it's tools are caught up.

After 7 years of setting up ruby servers, I can't say it's ever made me homicidal. RVM and rbenv on multiple different distributions have generally all been fine. What did your distro/environment look like?
