And you don't get native widgets on any platform except Windows. So even if the Mono WinForms implementation becomes complete at some point, you are still tied to the way Windows widgets look, feel, and behave. I say, resist the temptation. Python already has multiple crossplatform GUI toolkits to choose from, one of which (wxPython) delivers native widgets on each platform. You get a Mac button on Mac, complete with the nice eye candy of that platform, for example. In summary, I'd say that Python brings a whole hell of a lot of technical goodness to .NET, but .NET really doesn't bring anything to Python, other than exposure.
