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.

I do not see the need for .net (apart to let microsoft gain more money).
We have php perl python and a lot more of free and easy to use languages and technologies why losing time to try to make .net for linux?
Gtk bindings for a lot of languages are already available: no need to redo them in mono.
Parrot is a good bytecode technology.
I used in the past microsoft languages and rad tools and they are horrible, you have to use them only because they are "the market standard".
Mono do not have NOW complete windows form, it is bytecode (as .net) so it is slow and memory hungry (like java which I also used)
If you would like to support something very well made help gnustep people: ten years ago next step had all programmers features that .net and mono "promise" to do in the future.
