Because it is looking for more uptaking.

Personally, I always thought that I wouldn't touch .NET with a ten foot pole. But on the other hand, I found it very attractive, mostly for the usable reason. Mono is a way to go, but not mainstream, just as long as you make it mono compatible and not M$.NET specific.

About performance and other things:

GUI, well my Gtk software runs just as fast until it does not involve following

Strings, a lot easier to deal with but performance sucks.

Arithmetic, sucks for performance

Short and clean code, rocks almost as Delphi

Downsides:

speed

no decent editor

Thumbs up:

runs everywhere, (I know so does java, but java and decent GUI software are two different worlds)

Can't wait for Novell or anybody else to put some fancy editor that would be more sophisticated than monodevelop (well, besides crashing its slow).
