I'll admit to wondering on that. I remember J++.
The issues are different, mostly because Sun created
Java and Microsoft created C#, but given Microsoft's
track record, one has to wonder how, if one goes with
a Microsoft C#/.NET RAD solution, one prevents it from
injecting Microsoft-specific modules that a Linux system
running Mono can't use?
(It was possible, if difficult, with J++; one had to
be careful. Sun was annoyed enough to sue, IIRC.)
Contrariwise, if one uses Mono, can .NET run it? The only
issue I see there is Gtk#, and that's probably available
for Microsoft as well through something like Cygwin or
just as a build option on gtk.org.
