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.

I have always liked to follow the "use what you like" ideology. If you don't like it don't use it. If you like it use it a lot. If it bothers you if it is on your pure system then remove it.
The funny thing with mono and C# GTK is the slow startup time. I was running the GTK C++ version of Tomboy and it launches in a second on my older clunker Athlon. Sometimes I think these new runtime based frameworks are all style and no substance. They run great if you have 4 Gigs ram and a new CPU. On older systems they are, well, lame. I respect people's choice to use this framework or whatever one they prefer.
