The Mono discussion may be tiring, but the fact of the matter is that thanks to this discussion, various major Linux distributions are now making official statements detailing their position in the Mono/C# debate. The latest to do this is Ubuntu, which reiterated their position yesterday.

Mono is not Golden Hammer or anything that solves the problems. Mono is somehow as VB and Delphi, a nice platform but really few professionals make big opensource/free applications. Mono itself tries to work so much to achieve more of .NET APIs.
The reason that beagle I think did not succeed on other distros than Suse and Foresight, excluding political reasons were two technical limitations of Mono VM: a bad JIT and bad GC. Solving hopefully the GC in one year from now (as JIT was fairly improved) to use a generational, will make few annoying pauses at least on low ram machines. The applications I use that are mono based are FSpot, Banshee and Gnome Do. I don't use Tracker, so makes no difference anyway.
