Devil's Advocate:

[If I am in a larger organization and] if I write services/console apps in this 
corporate environment that run on WinNT(x) then I
have an excellent option/investigation of vertical scaling by using zLinux/Mono 
[on mainframe hardware].

So that the work we do can be deployed on either Linux
or Windows?

If that's a requirement, why not use Java? Seriously:
first look at the job, then pick the right tool which
fits the job.

It's not as if Java lacks any tooling or functionality
or anything.

Ok, if you have a cool .NET app, it's of course not an
option to use Java, but why then use Linux to run it on?
