ALT.NET - What's hot; what's not

Roy Osherove has published a list of hot or not technologies - most of the "hot" technologies living under the ALT.NET banner and most of the "not" technologies coming from Redmond.

I've decided to follow suit and publish a list of my own. Here's what I think are my hot or not technologies:

Hot Not
Monorail ASP.Net, Web forms
NUnit, MBUnit MSTest
NAnt MSBuild
Agile BDUF, Sign-offs
iBatis NHibernate, MS Entity Framework
Google code hosting Codeplex
Subversion, Cruisecontrol.NET and Trac Team Build
Test Driven Development MSTest
dotnet.org.za, Feedburner Windows Live Spaces
Jeremy D. Miller's Winforms posts CAB
Spring.NET Object Builder

Anything to add?

Update: I found a response to Roy's post by Bil Simser where he also posts his HOT or NOT list.

Update: Sam Gentile has just posted his list, along with a detailed description of why he is ALT.NET.

Don't forget FaceBook, SharpDevelop and Google Reader.

Roger, but only Google Reader with Gears :P I see you've got iBatis on over NHibernate? I haven't done any db work in a while but I'll definitely check it out then. Great list :)

Jay Kimble recently put up a great post about 'Git R Done' coding (great title) to call elitist...
