SharpDevelop is prepared to dump Windows.Forms when it is neccessary. I
abstracted
the GUI layer and I hope that I were careful enough to have not many
Windows.Forms
dependencies outside of the code.
When GTK# runs (under Windows too :)) and is mighty enough I'll try to port
SharpDevelop.
It's a lot of work, but Windows.Forms suck and when GTK# is good it may be
worth the effort.
