Definitely chunky sizes, but keep in mind I'm coming back to dotnet after almost a decade. I could be measuring the wrong thing here and there could be ways to significantly shrink these sizes. Maybe.
HelloWorld console app:
Windows: 136MB
OSX: 140.5MB
Linux: 152.9MB
I don't care much about the binary size, just ease of deployment and developer UX. I enjoy writing C# so these tools are great for me.
130 MB for a hello world is a lot though, but I don't think it's the main reason why there are not many cross platform desktop apps that I know of. I suppose the reasons are others and different.
Anyhow, if you're having fun... why not :)
