Any Mono Developers on this list?

[Darrell Michaud]

I've actually been impressed at how stable and featured it is, in the
limited window where I have interacted with it. I ported a C# app which
needed to use a specific .net DLL library to ironpython on mono, and it
went smoothly with no platform issues. I used standard text editors and
occasionally Eclipse as a dev environment, on a Fedora distribution. From
what I understand quite a few gnome apps are written in mono now.

All that aside, I'd consider using Ubuntu or Redhat/fedora as large
distributions with support, from companies that are doing more for the
larger ecosystem than SUSE's current owners.
