A huge 'discussion' took place on the desktop-devel mailing list of the GNOME project about a possible replacement for TomBoy, the Wiki-like note taking application-thing-program-utility written in Mono - it being written in Mono was the prime reason for the whole debate, which started here, and only got considerably nastier later on. "It would seem that lately there are a lot of FUD-spreading trolls crawling out of the woodwork trying to frighten people into thinking that GNOME somehow depends on Mono. Let's take a look at their most widely repeated claims."

The reason I avoid Mono is that I can't find a single Mono application that is better than the non-Mono alternatives
That is not avoiding mono, that is avoiding applications that do not meet your requirements. Unless of course, not being mono based is a requirement.
And yes, indeed i would point to Tomboy and Muine, applications i couldn't live without, because they are so incredible usable (which is a big plus in my requirement book). Now, you wouldn't need mono for that (i couldn't care less), but they just happen to be based on mono.
