Because C# has been standardized by ECMA. It's an open standard; anyone can implement it. (That's the theory, anyway. We don't believe it to be patent encumbered, but I haven't heard any recent news about our patent questions from several months ago.) VB.NET, JScript.NET, J# .NET, and Managed Extensions to C++ are not standardized. Microsoft provides language definitions for some of them, but what the Microsoft compilers accept may differ from the documentation. (This has been mentioned before with regards to VB.NET; check the archives.) Thus, C# provides a more stable target, less likely to radically change over time. Of course, many have a fundamental dislike of VB, or a fundamental like of C-like languages (or both), and C#'s similarity to Java may be a good thing to others... > Do you know where can I find a PaintBrush made in the mono? or how to do it?
