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.

Any particular reason for this perspective? Why stop a technology that could boost the adoption of linux in general?
Because it's a technology created by MS, with possible copyright and probable patent issues.
The reason I favour GNOME over KDE is purely legal, as KDE is actually better designed (internally), but I find the QT's ownership by Trolltech too limiting. And Trolltech is an angel compared to Microsoft
Stop spreading FUD. The fact is, Qt is maintained but owned at an arms length. This was one of the questions bought up, "what happens if Trolltech goes under? does Qt go down with the ship?". How about instead of making unsubstantiated claims, how about reading the licensing changes they made to make Qt more acceptable to the OSS community.
