Gnome, Mozilla and the Challenge of Longhorn

With lots of talk recently about mono/java/python, it seems like a response to Longhorn and XAML is brewing. People at mozilla are talking about how to create an alliance against the hegemon. Co-operation with gnome is discussed on mozillazine. I do hope that gnome can use the XUL language or something like it so that gui programming is easy for us mere mortals. Lets not re-invent the wheel reproducing XAML when we've already got XUL!

What has all of it to do with mono? So many comments sounds more or less like mono promotion statements and says not much about the situation GNOME is in competing WinXP or Longhorn.

Mono is nothing more than another totally unfinished work in progress that is hyped to no end as a solution for everything. It's a waste of ressources in my opinion (hey, it's mine, so don't feel offended)

Somebody else mentioned C++ and its bindings for GNOME, so another question ... what about Java, it has this bindings too. Both are matured programming languages ... no need for another virtual advanced invention.
