SDL.NET

So I'm wondering if anyone out there is using SDL.NET for their game projects? Hobby or serious? There doesn't seem to be any kind of community around it, the official website/forums are pretty much a ghost town, and it's hard to find any substantial literature or discussion revolving around this library. I understand the portability issues around using .NET, and I am also aware that SDL/C++ is a much safer bet in terms of learning industry standards ... but surely there is plenty to like about SDL.NET for those attempting to learn game development? My own experiences with it have been great! (granted, I am a C# developer professionally). Productivity is awesome, super easy to prototype and test features, it seems to me to be the perfect way to learn game dev for beginners / those familiar with C#. I just find it hard to get detailed info about advanced issues ... I guess I could download the source code? Is there any reason why there's not much momentum behind this? Or maybe there is and I just haven't met the people working with it? Any thoughts are appreciated.
