It often happens that the tools we rely on the most are also the most immature. We tolerate them because they fulfill an essential role. Other tools are really well designed, but aren’t important enough to justify the cost in time and money. And a rare few hit both marks. InfoQ wants to know which tools .NET testing tools you like to use and which you need to use.
InfoQ wants to know which .NET testing tools are first rate, which are immature and unreliable, and which are so important that you use them despite their failings.

I'm biased, but I'd like to see SpecsFor and SpecsFor<Mvc> on this list. Granted, I created both, but I know many teams are using them.

My focus is more on the programming side than on actual testing - i.e. I am not an expert on testing. For unit tests, however, when working with .Net, I personally prefer xUnit.net over NUnit. Also missing in your list...
