1. Mono perpetuates the .NET code base.
No it doesn't. It perpetuates C#. .NET can die and mono will have no issues surviving on.
2. Mono will work until MS decides to break it
Like I said that won't happen. Mono is separate from .NET. Mono doesn't need .NET.
3. Mono is supported by MS via Novell to accomplish #1
I would like to see you prove that allegation.
4. Miguel de Icaza is a brilliant programmer and leader who has no problem with the MS/Novell patent agreements. I'll not support him in that.
I don't really like the patent deals either but in the long run I don't think it will matter for either camp.
5. There are a plethora of other development frameworks that are fully Free and unencumbered. Why bother with applications for this new one?
There is a plethora of other environments but there are only a few good ones and only really one or two which are comparable to Mono one of which is Java, and that has only recently been opened up.
