Hello! Well, the last week I talk with a consultant of Microsoft in Mexico that his job is to develop applications in .NET, so here are some ideas that maybe exists or maybe not in the mono world :)
1. I think that in the application side (the exes that all we know) Mono has a good position, I can develop applications in Linux/Mono, compile them and in windows download them and just run them, without installing Mono in the other side (also if we are not going to develop, just to run the application). In the Visual way I think they're equal, in the MS.NET world you can use the VisualStudio and use SWF and in Mono you can use Glade (that I think it's better, cause you can run it in more OS -gtk- than the SWF). 2. Also, the man shows me the real power today of .NET. He created a simple Hello World application and ask me that f*** question: "What do you want to do today?".. urgh.. he compiled and copied the code to his www root directory and opened it in a browser.. then opened an exe with the same interface :(.. and then copied it to his pocket pc and opened in it!!!. So I have a question.. Today, in Mono I can create applications for PocketPcs, Web applications and the same time? 3. And also.. he allows me to create a simple web page in ASP.NET using VisualStudio first and then WebMatrix, wow.. I created a stupid w page in 5 minutes with labels, fields, calendar, validators and get data of a AccessDB in 5minutes!. So my question is: Exists or plans to be an opensource project similar to WebMatrix? for developing ASP.NET websites very fast?. If not, I thing that would be a good idea, I can contribute with code or as beta tester Thanks and happy hacking!
