I think #2 is on it’s way. Look at the recent open source .NET guys hired by Microsoft (Scott Hanselman, Phil Haack), I gotta think that is the way to compete against the RoR/Java/PHP world.

I have spent endless hours with Reflector trying to understand the inner workings of .NET Framework. There are many things not mentioned in the documentation that you really need to dig deeper to understand. Even though Reflector is brilliant, the real source code with comments and proper variable names would certainly be a big help.
We have also found several bugs in .NET Framework. With the source code, we could find them easier and write better bug reports to Microsoft.
