Whether or not these "dilettantes" are people you would hire is entirely orthogonal to the fact that they exist or the desire to support them, even if we limited the argument to that subset alone.
In any event, it's not entirely about capability (though there would definitely be people entirely stuck moving from VS to [for example] vim). It's about transferability of skills.
To much argument about Mono is "I don't need/like it therefore nobody else should do either". It misses the point.

The FSF warns (again) against Mono: and correctly so Posted Jul 20, 2009 14:05 UTC (Mon) by dskoll (subscriber, #1630) [Link] To much argument about Mono is "I don't need/like it therefore nobody else should do either". It misses the point. The point is that Mono does nothing very useful for the Linux community. It's also very risky for that same community, and it commits the Mono developers to slavishly following proprietary standards set by a company very hostile to free software. So really, I don't care if people use Mono on Linux. I would care very much if Mono were installed by default on a Linux distro, or became used for critical components of a Linux distro. That's crossing the line.
