I tried mono myself this summer for quite a complex web front end/back end application written in .Net on Windows. What I found was: 1) the core mono libraries are extremely good, I was able to drop the binaries on Linux and get to work immediately 2) projects on top of the core libraries and requiring integrating with other services (web servers like Apache, nginx) can turn out a nightmare. While I managed to setup everything on Cent OS and Ubuntu, nothing was really working as it should So, personally I'm a big fan of mono and already looking for trying some winforms stuff there, but ... mono needs more resources I guess to get polished
