I was going to defend Tomboy's being written on top of Mono with an impassioned plea to support cross-platform applications. Then I checked and saw that Tomboy is Linux only.
Now that Java is being GPL-ed, I hope the Gnome folkes give up on the Mono experiment and embrace Java instead.

Mono Posted Feb 25, 2007 6:59 UTC (Sun) by zlynx (subscriber, #2285) [Link] Why trade mono for Java?
C# is a much nicer GUI programming language. And mono applications start up much faster than Java applications.
Anything that needs special splash-screen support (see Java 1.6) in order to keep the user interested is far too slow for desktop use, in my opinion. I'm not willing to wait more than 0.5 seconds for a text editor.
