[...] Perhaps if there were a way to create a universally compatible GUI app with something similar to Visual Studio, there would be a lot more cross-platform compatibility throughout the scene [...]

Well, the solution might be Mono + MonoDevelop + GTK#.

If that's the case, I shall have to take a look at those.

Some people might argue that it is a disadvantage that users have to install the Mono and GTK# assemblies. But honestly, if the software is good, they'll eventually.

Some days ago I received the book "Mono: A Developer's Guide", and I must say it's well-written and worth the money I spent on it.

The first thing that really annoys me is MonoDevelop, the Linux IDE. It sucks compared to Visual Studio; it doesn't even seem to have breakpoint support.

Looks like the best way is to develop the .NET application under Windows and then port it to Linux. But this approach somehow reminds me of programs written in C...

For me, the only interesting thing left is GTK# and the ability to create multi-platform GUIs. I'm going to play around with it to see what can be done.
