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 really like C# and I'm impressed how far Mono got in the last two years. However, it seems insane to me that Gnome (where many people bitched about the non-free KDE/QT license ... but at least there was a license!) should be based on Mono, on a technology where Microsoft can pull the plug anytime they want. Isn't tying us to Microsoft technology exactly the opposite of what most Linux developers work for? And how exactly is Linux supposed to bypass Windows when its core technology is always lagging behind, trying to maintain .NET compatibility which MS can break anytime at will?
