There is no lie in those class status pages. None of them tell that
those components are 100% bug-free. In your logic ASP.NET must not
have been ok too since there were still some bugs.

Actual bug reports should be much more welcomed than this kind of
boring complaints. The thing that you say "cross platform" (which
actually isn't exactly) won't come true unless you actually report
the bugs you faced.

BTW Mono's "cross platform on desktop apps" has been done as Gtk#.
It *is* cross platform.
