Works fine under Mono, so you can OSS the whole stack even on Windows.

Frankly, especially with what Oracle's been up to lately, I tire of this style of .NET fear-mongering.

It's not that I'm fear-mongering against .NET / Mono. It's more that I find the idea of having to download, install, and maintain a 1GB proprietary runtime to run a CSS preprocessor, well, preposterous. Don't worry, I have the same repulsion against Java / HotSpot.

Isn't what Oracle is doing more reason to be concerned about .Net? What if Microsoft failed, and the company that bought their assets rescinded the agreement they've made not to sue?

But... but... It's Microsoft, it'll never fail!

And people will always wear hats!
