How is this any different than using MSMQ?

HangFire provides you a unified programming model for background job processing on shared, dedicated and cloud hosting. It takes the complexity of background processing itself and lets you to concentrate only on background jobs.
Well, it looks like it might run inside Mono, for one.
I didn't try to do so, but there is nothing to prevent HangFire to run on Mono. I also consider to support OWIN instead of System.Web for HangFire Dashboard, so Linux and MacOS will be supported.
So something like RabbitMQ would do exactly the same.
MSMQ is a colossal PITA to set up. As is RabbitMQ, etc.

I've wanted something like this for a very long time.
