Politicians. They are a certain type of people. I do not like them. Many do not like them. I think if there's one thing all of man has in common, whether he be Christian or Muslim, black or white, young or old, American or European, is a dislike of politicians. But then-- why on earth do we allow politics to complicate software? Note: Sunday Eve Column.

You may now have noticed that those good apps aren't written in Mono yet are usefull for the users.
The fact that a few good apps are written in a certain language doesn't mean an entire project should switch to that language.
You certainly are missing the point. No one's arguing that Gnome should switch to Mono at this point. The discussion regards including Mono (and Python) bindings in Gnome so that distributing and installing/running Mono (and Python) applications becomes easier.
There are some that believe that including Mono and Python bindings will make Gnome less focused (as developers will have more options), more bloated (a few more megs of disk space), or less "pure" in the ideological sense (as Gnome was originally C only).
