So far as I know, living without mono is quite painless as I don't have it installed anywhere. Java is another story as several apps depend on having it available although Debian does stay away from Sun's version. Worse is Flash which has no real work-alike available. I hold it in disdain, but keep it installed for the odd webpage that uses it which is generally for entertainment purposes and could probably be excised without too much pain. NoScript helps with that a lot.
