Ars Technica has an article about recent proposals to evolve the GTK+ toolkit: "The developers of GTK are preparing for a major overhaul that aims to resolve many of the framework's most significant deficiencies and add next-generation features that will increase flexibility and simplify development. This effort is still in the earliest planning stage, but several intriguing proposals provide valuable insight into some of the changes envisioned by prominent developers."

What about MonoDevelop and Banshee?
What about them? Are they included in a default intall by some distro? OpenSuse, maybe? Five apps != "many people are drawn to Mono". (And should MonoDevelop really count as an app?)
From current rawhide:
$ yum list | grep -i perl | wc -l
920
$ yum list | grep -i python | wc -l
332
$ yum list | grep -i java | wc -l
238
$ yum list | grep -i ruby | wc -l
113
$ yum list | grep -i mono | wc -l

Yes. Plus, I would dispute that "many are drawn to Mono". It is my impression that a few very vocal people are drawn to Mono. Which is a very different statement.
F-spot, Tomboy, Beagle. Am I missing anything significant? Judging from my Fedora 9 beta installation, I don't think so. And it does not come with Beagle.
Probably more OSS devs are "drawn to" Java. But I don't think that is a particularly large group, either.
