It seems from reading this list, that these are: * Large memory usage. Perhaps not for an application, but when used as a part of the Desktop or long running process. * Startup time. Again one can wait for an application, but when part of the desktop it becomes problematic. * Proliferation of too many frameworks in the GNOME desktop. * Having large parts of the Desktop become dependent on Mono components. Mono as an integral part of GNOME. * Worries about Microsoft. * Microsoft not using .NET on their Desktop. Note that these aren't my objections, and for details you'll have to go back and read the various threads. So, no need to feel pressured to defend against these objections right here.
