Some people just don't like working with Perl and I don't blame them, it's an arcane language if you're coming from a C/C++ background. I used to work a lot with Perl but moved onto Python because it's much easier to work with, though even it has its own unique syntax. I hate MS as much as the next guy, heck I'm writing this email via Evolution under Linux and my job is a Linux sys admin, but I don't see the big deal of the app being written in C# so long as it's checked out against Mono for compatibility.
