Wouldn't it be trivial to add a Winforms template project, with a main form,
menu, and maybe an About dialogue? I don't understand what the the lack of a
GUI-designer for Winforms has to do with the lack of a starting point.
(Perhaps this being used as a way to "encourage" people to use GTK... but
some of us need to use Winforms on Mono, so it is just annoying.)

Isn't there a way to create a Winforms project in VS and then migrate it to
Mono?
