I would be interested in how Xamarin plans to use MVVM with GTK and Cocoa. Will this be a similar approach to MVVMCross which adds binding support to Android and IOS such that the models can be shared accross platofrms.
I see that MVVMCross already has support for WPF and Mac which just leaves GTK.
