I think one of the things most frustrating is the 'getting it going'. I have a hard time to get everything in sync. What version of what package should I use, etc. etc. I'd love to get Monodevelop running, but that often depends on un-released parts. Or on parts that are only available as source/cvs. So I'm always one step behind.
I know this will change. I only hope it is soon.
The other thing indeed is the documantation. In Qt for example, one has a full description of all posible calls and there is a step-by-step tutorial. I'd love to see one of those for Gtk# as well.

I'm interested to know what your (and others') problems with GTK# are and
what you mean by "support" -- are you finding it difficult to learn, in
other words would better documentation help? Or are you finding it difficult
to use, things aren't working as advertised, that kind of thing?

Subject: [Mono-list] I give up


After trying to work with Mono, Portable.NET, Qt, and KDE, I've realized that I'm fighting a battle that I cannot win. Mono supports Gtk# (and GTK+) to the exclusion of any other platform. Portable.NET is behind their own SWF implementation, but at least they are a bit more agnostic. The Qt/KDE community seems to find the entire concept of C# and its use of metadata and JIT compilation repulsive.

I'm tired of trying and failing. I'm tired of having no one to
support me. I'm
tired of feeling isolated and alone.

It's just not worth it. Maybe I will end up Windows XP and .NET.
Who knows. I
just know that the Free software community has got to be the most
hostile and
intolerant group of people I have ever encountered.
