I can't really blame them. The GNOME landscape is (or at least, was) *so hostile* toward Mono apps that I am surprised that Banshee or F-Spot survived, frankly. A major reason why I gave up on Beagle and the whole Linux desktop itself was due to this attitude. I guess the developers of those apps are more thick skinned or resilient than I was? I don't know. On the other hand, Mono on iOS, Android, etc. have all been warmly welcomed by the communities that adopt them -- and they have much larger user bases to boot. Why wouldn't they target them? > In the past I appreciate beaglefs that could be the first step of a > next generation database-based filesystem. Now I use mono to cut my > photos. Thanks. It was a lot of fun to work on over the years.
