In general, wrappers have advantages, no doubt about that.
But C# is no just yet another programming language - a lot
of things go with .net.

I wonder if this comment comes out of real experience with C# and
managed C++/C wrapping?

I think that the overhead can actually become quite substancial.
Great care must be taken to obtain an efficient C#-based VTK.

Best regards,
