Unix was originally all about not being... Multics. If Mono is to follow a similar nomenclature (just for the kicks), we have to talk about Mono's upcoming 'monopolization' and 'monarchy' in the next generation of the Unix programming land. Your see, if everything goes well, in 2 to 3 years most new Gnome user/desktop applications will be written --hopefully-- in Mono and C#. Update: Miguel deIcaza replies.

Looking at mono (and java too) neither seem to be anywhere near as developer productive as python wih the pyKDE bindings. I was writing an app as part of a researh project that needed a gui and in less then a day i had a full, powerful gui with some powerful opengl integration. With the python system it is also trivially easy to code processor intensive code (i am working with 12MB graphics files at the pixel level) in some other language (c, c++, fortran, whatever). Even when these functions are prototyped in python the speed is not terrible, its plenty fast enough for a bit of testing.
Python is incredibly mature, and has some serious IDE's like eric3 and gideon (the new kdevelop) with QT Designer.
