And Python/Qt on GTK+/Qt isn't "an extra layer" because? Because Mono is sitting between a language (Python) and widget set (GTK+) as an imitation of a Microsoft product designed to shield a language (sometimes Python but mostly C#) from a widget set and OS API (Win32).

Except, of course, Win32 API is a disgusting piece of shit that should better be shielded from developers by something, and GTK+ is a widget set with a very straightforward design. Heck, Windows GTK+ port even runs on top of Win32. And so does Windows port of Qt, with absolutely no need for .Net, Mono or other additional layers.
