Let me explain something to you
.Net is still half-baked betaware, and Mono is one or two steps behind Microsoft's .Net as it appears to be.
That law firm I used to work for went all .Net and since 2001 are still trying to convert all their apps and ASP pages to .Net and are running into walls, and finding that .Net won't do what Microsoft said it would. My replacements already got let go, and they are constantly hiring new people to replace the ones they are firing. Don't blame the people, blame the technology. When I search the Usegroups for that law firm name, I see IT people asking questions about .Net and why parts of it do not work right. Didn't Slugbug start a thread on this somewhere?
I assume Mono is not that much better.

No, let me explain something to YOU.
What applications have you written with .NET? What parts of the framework have you used? What worked? What didn't? Was this developer error or a genuine problem with the .NET framework?
When did you evaluate Mono? What parts of it are behind .NET? What platform did you try it on? Did you use a current release, or an older version? Are you aware of what Mono actually is?
When will you stop hand-waving and come up with something concrete?

Poor humor ahead.
Sure, I know what Mono is... I had it when I was a 9th grader, way back in the old days. ANd I have used Net to catch fish...
Any more clarification needed?

Second hand knowledge
My information is second hand knowledge from programmers that I know who develop in it and don't like it. I haven't met anyone who did. I've tried to get them to join here, but they don't seem to want to for some reason.
Would that I could afford Visual Studio.NET and try it out myself, my only experience was with a Beta version that expired. Are you offering to buy me a copy? :) Just kidding.

Plenty enough to develop - just add a text editor.
