An FTDI FT232H is popular in this space as well. You can get one already on a breakout board for $15. https://www.digikey.com/products/en?mpart=2264&v=1528

Tutorials, etc, here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-ft232h-breakout Includes some python code that works on Windows, Linux, etc.

Adafruit does not support .NET on Windows.

Adafruit just put the chip on a breakout board. There's .net support for it.

You are right there is .NET support, I used it the SPI library. I think there one library for I2C and one for SPI. I settled on the FTDI ft4222 which is somehow easier to program and can only do SPI and I2C (no IO, no UART). The FT232H could be faster in SPI.
