That doesn't help me, 21 pages of postings? That the official Arduino IDE platform would ever rely on a non-open source windows .NET framework would just never happen in my opinion and would also require a rather major forking for the Linux and Apple versions of the IDE, no? I suspect you have misunderstood something or are confusing it with some arduino 'compatible' IDE, not an 'official' IDE release.
So 'splain yourself Lucy.
