Why should the developers say anything here about that? The whole discussion was completely emotional with no technical reasons. Thus you just addressed the wrong people and should try to talk to the marketing department instead. > I believe alot of people here have expressed serious concerns with the use of > a .Net based application as a core component, and I have yet to see any > official response on this. Well, whether your concerns were serious is quite questionable. Your main argument was that you associate .Net/Mono with Microsoft and that you do not like Microsoft. I don't like corporate policy of Microsoft either but competing with a company does not mean running through the world with blinders, ignoring this company's products. Note that I don't like programming (although I sometimes have to do it) in the Java language because it has some rather stupid design flaws in my opinion. But I don't run through town like a maniac crying that I will never use applications written in Java. As long as I do not have to maintain the software and it is doing his job I don't care when it is written in Java. Apart from that you are always free to port the functionality that is currently implemented to run on the Mono engine to your favourite language.
