I can't offer much in the way of MUD code, but I've been converting
a variety of my own graphical game software from C++ to C#.  In C#'s
favor is simplicity and clarity.  I can just write code and not
worry about lots of conventions and bizarre constructs.  Everything
is a component - including the GDI stuff.  Against C# is
performance.  These are early experiences for me, but I noticed that
the performance of a rather memory intense algorithm dropped by
about half.  Lots of component creations and deletions, meaning lots
of use of the .NET garbage collector.  A rather large memory
footprint as well, but a teensy, tinsy executable file, which makes
distribution a snap.

I enjoy using C#, but I suspect that there's a brand new learning
curve in getting certain types of software to perform well.

I'd kill for a good performance and coverage analysis tool.  Anybody
know of a good one?  The last I worked with was
Microsoft-proprietary.
