The Mono discussion may be tiring, but the fact of the matter is that thanks to this discussion, various major Linux distributions are now making official statements detailing their position in the Mono/C# debate. The latest to do this is Ubuntu, which reiterated their position yesterday.

Note that you are talking about "customers". I am talking about "users", people who do not necessary pay for the software and therefore are much more critical about what they install.
Look at Tomboy vs GNotes - everybody's flaming Tomboy for being written in Mono.
It's funny that you mention Java. You've obviously missed all the user complaints about Java being slow and easting tons of memory when used in desktop apps.

What?! Java isn't slow or bloated it runs just fine on a quad-core cpu with 4 Gigs of ram dedicated to the java runtime. ;-)

That's why I don't write apps in (java, C, python etc) in fear that my customers will complain about the dependency on (JRE, glibc/libc, python etc).
