I'm sure this has been discussed here, but has anyone proposed the idea of a SWING like frame work written in C#. I know SWING has it's hangups, but it's a hand tool for GUI apps that are deployed on a number of different platforms.
Remeber, what Miguel said: Swing looks like an alien on _every_ platform.
There existing different LookAndFeel (LaF) for Swing, so that you can choose a Windows-LaF for Windows-Systems, but the same is possible with Gtk+
(Have a look at Gtk-Wimp on WinXP: http://developer.gimp.org/screenshots/gimp-winxp.png)
The other point is, that Swing is based on AWT, which is a platformdependent GUI.
And you only use AWT and Swing, because its a part of Java. If you install Java, you install AWT and Swing with it.
And thats the difference to Gtk#. At the moment Gtk#, Gtk+, Glib and all the other libraries on which Gtk# and Gtk+ are based, are still _not_ part of Mono
(and Gtk+, GLib and so on are actually unfortunately not bundled with Gtk# in a seperate package for different systems on the Gtk#-Webside)
