The biggest offender for me, besides nuget being pretty much useless for real work, is that you need to install Visual Studio to automate headless ASP.NET builds! That's insane. Even the simplest most barebones ASP project requires it. As a result, our Chef scripts include downloading and installing a bunch of MSIs from S3. I would love to be proven wrong.
