I think you're being a bit unfair. I am not properly familiar with Guava, but aren't most things available in .NET's collections classes? A lot of what's in Commons is available in the .NET BCL. https://redis.io/clients#c looks fine to me (I'd probably pick the StackExchange client) NPgSQL seems to be the recommended library for Postgres. https://www.nuget.org/packages/CassandraCSharpDriver/ was updated in February. https://github.com/Microsoft/CSharpClient-for-Kafka starts to show some of the issues you're talking about - Microsoft aren't supporting this one anymore, but they point to https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-dotnet which wraps librdkafka - seems sensible I'll definitely give you a point for the HTTP2/IIS issue - although there might be more technical reasons than you think for that.

The above opinion is based on my experience developing a Kafka client library (I use OSX / VS Code) for Confluent https://github.com/confluentinc/confluent-kafka-dotnet as well as a substantial side project.
