I would like to evaluate .NET as a development platform for a desktop application. I am looking for good examples of .NET desktop applications used in the mainstream. The only ones I know of are:

  1. Visual Studio (The copy website form is one example.)
  2. Team Explorer UI
  3. Paint.NET
  4. Reflector
  5. Gnome Do (An app launcher for Gnome; runs on Mono)

I am looking for more examples; open source, freeware or a demo version in that order.

Suggestions?

    SharpDevelop is an open source Development IDE for .NET very much like VS.NET written in .NET (iirc it still has some pinvokes, but it is all managed code) and is quite large and feature complete.

    You can even get the source code for it to look at.
