It'd be nice if this effort included some SL/WPF support as well. Java still has swing and (gulp) JavaFX, and last I checked they run on any OS. As of now, I'm starting to feel like one has to write in flex if they want a desktop app with good UX to run everywhere.

With Swing you end up with a common denominator, which really sucks and you're better off deploying a web app with a local server and a stripped down Firefox. Or you could do what the big boys do, share the business logic on all platforms, but implement the UI using native APIs. Here's a sample: http://www.skybound.ca/ http://www.skybound.ca/ The OS X client is implemented with Mono + MonoMac (Cocoa bindings).
