I've always admited that VCL Forms were faster than WinForms but that
WinForms are plenty fast to make desktop apps (such as Omea) that are
not useless and crappy as some naysayers would have you believe.

It is, by far, one of the slowest apps I have installed in terms of redraw
speed. WinForms could REALLY stand some optimization...

So, .NET is resulting in:

1) more bugs (because code is being rewritten even though it was working
fine before)
2) slower apps that require ungodly amounts of RAM
3) a download that requires broadband internet connectivity during
installation (in order to get the .NET runtime)

Great.
