Web-based IDE anyone?  How about REST-based project/solution API (whether
files, classes, resources, or otherwise)?  Integrated directly with Github?

Wanna develop in the console?  Use a Lynx-like browser?

And the more I think about it, the more I like the thought of a
convention-based project/solution structure a la Java.

That being said, I'm pretty damn comfortable editing .csproj files anymore,
and honestly have come across multiple situations where I'm not sure simple
filesystem or path-based conventional project architecture would have been
able to cut it.  Think of including a .cs file as a non-compiled resource
and wanting to be able to see it next to a compiled .cs file because they're
logically related.
