Apple Novell has announced MonoTouch 1.0, a commercial SDK kit that allows developers to build iPhone apps using Microsoft's .Net Framework instead of the Apple-designated C or Objective-C languages. The SDK leverages Novell's Mono runtime for running Windows apps on non-Windows systems, allowing developers to utilize code and libraries written for .Net and programming languages like C#.

probably because html/css/javascript are really bad for developers, but that's another topic ;)

Obviously I think MS wants you to use 'their' tools and they don't put as much focus on the more standardized tools. They make great developer tools. But they're still a business and they want you to use their products.

I use Dreamweaver all the time. It's the best WYSIWYG there is. MS could compete for my money on that front (having no competition, DW has not progressed in the last few versions). But instead, they push Silverlight, and refuse to implement modern technologies in their browser that would make html/css/javascript suck less - and they do suck right now, with the lack of decent layout technology. Though to be fair, WebKit, Mozilla, and Opera do support better tech in that regard - we just can't use it because Microsoft hates us.

MS competes in that area with Expression Web, download the trial and give it a try.
