"Their New Code IDE Is Not For Linux" - oh, these .net f...ks have shown us their faces and what to expect from 'em in future.

It is an easy way in, to attract CLI applications to ease into the Linux space and have few growing pains, that we could attract the swathe of developers Microsoft trapped in its Visual Studio clutches. But then, since Microsoft controls the spec, they can just throw poorly documented bull like what happened with DirectX into the CLI or C# standard (similar to how their published documentation of docx when they were trying to standardize it was obtuse) and abuse the fact that a lot of software might depend against Mono at that point, and new developers would expect whatever obfuscated nonsense Microsoft throws in.
Combine that with how Xamarin distances themselves from the Linux desktop like this, and it matters less the freedom arguments, but the reality that if new developers for the GNU stack start turning to Mono, they risk becoming tangled in a toolchain and stack that is always at risk for depreciation by the source or provider.
Mono is good for the Linux desktop for its compatibility potential, but as a software platform for anyone bringing new software to Linux, it has a lot of potential danger wrapped in it, compared to other available platforms.

The bottom reads:
Code:mono-3.0.0.tar.bz2 19-Oct-2012 19:27 39M mono-3.0.1.tar.bz2 08-Nov-2012 19:04 39M mono-3.0.2.tar.bz2 05-Dec-2012 21:33 64M mono-3.0.3.tar.bz2 08-Jan-2013 23:17 63M
I don't have anything against mono per se. If it was specified by microsoft, who really cares? What matters is that the implementation is free software and it seems microsoft keeps its promise and is really not interested in sueing over it.
But it's not nice that in monodevelop 4 the code view and source/designer tabs are not working at all. There is no error message about it at all.
The (german) translation is obviously not complete but I don't really care about it. Just doesn't look complete that way.Last edited by ChrisXY; 21 February 2013, 01:42 PM.

But whether or not a framework is good is largely unrelated to whether apps written with that framework are good. You can make a heavy C app and a light C# app fairly easily.

BTW, the Linux community includes me.

Do you know how to use a computer??
Originally posted by Pawlerson View PostI've tried every mono application and all of them were unstable mess. Banshee was simply unusable while tomboy was heavier than Firefox. F-spot was much slower than its Vala equivalent, so I see no point in using this shit. When mono3 goes out it should be completely ignored by Linux community, because it's just m$ crap.
