I'd agree with this.  It's important to have users on all platforms be
able to develop using the same tool.  I would think it should run on
.NET as well as Mono, and ultimately support GTK#, WinForms, and SWT#
development if the latter pans out.

Authors who write books about .NET could do this with a Mono focus and
bundle everything including the IDE with the package.  They can then
take their skills to Linux whenever they desire.
