comfortable enough with English that you can write in an implicit style
that will confuse someone given the chance.

If I'd have written it, I'd probably been explicit about (wanting/not
wanting) .Net. Your intent in that area is implicit (you know what you
require, but isn't stated).
Written as it is I think the phrase " because it is cool to have
.NET(like ASP.NET) integration." means you want/need .Net support. Which
is unfortunate, as that is the opposite of what you intended.
I can't really see how it can be read any other way, unless you put in
an explicit statement to the contrary. Hence, mis-communication.
