I tried to get Wine to run a dotnet framework console app last week. It was the first time I've tried to use Wine, but it was way more complicated than I thought it was going to be - many magical incantations are needed, which vary by OS, hardware platform, OS platform and binary platform. And it's very slow. I spent about 4 hours trying to get it working, and after all that time, all I'd achieved was bombing on a Crypto API error.

I gave up.
