And, similarly, how do you feel about Swing as a GUI toolkit? Hint: it's dreadful.

Indeed. I would never have ended up as Mono maintainer if not for three years with Java development on my undergraduate degree.

Your qualifications for being a mono maintainer involve an undergrad degree and 3 courses on java?

Edit... so Intro to Comp Sci I and II, and Data Structures in Java.

Have you ever gone you some porno-youtube site, had one of the many inviting thumbnails catch your eye, clicked on it, and begun enjoying the presentation, only to notice that there are one-too-many-dicks when the camera panned down?

That's how I feel about Java/Swing.

My qualifications for being a Mono maintainer involve sufficient familiarity with Java that when a need for cross-platform development came along in my post-education career, Java was NOT an option. Whereas Java-without-the-stupid-bits, AKA C#, was perfect. I liked the language enough at a technical level to spend time improving the packaging.
