Bloated Development Kit.

SharpDevelop, an open source (GPL) IDE for C# and VB.Net projects, seems like an inexpensive and fun way to get started with some .Net education. All you need is the .Net SDK and you are off and running, right?

Yep, all you have to do is to download the .Net SDK and start hacking away. But wait, the .NetFramework SDK is a 137,363,456 byte download. And that is not all, if you want to redistribute your .Net apps you'll also need to download the .Net Framework Redistributable, another 21,827,584 bytes. And you thought the JDK was bloated!
