Mono Outpaces Java In Linux Desktop Development
dp619 writes "Mono, a framework based on Microsoft technology, has become more popular for Linux desktop applications than Java, but recent changes could strengthen Java's hand, SD Times is reporting. The story also touches on the failure of Linux distros to keep pace with Eclipse."
I second turgid, and I will raise a toast to him.

Did you even bother to click the link? There's nothing biased about the comparison. It's not very compelling if you asked me, but it's definitely without bias.
If you can tell the difference between writing source code in Emacs and Visual Studio, you are not smart enough to develop software in the first place.
Contrary to the popular belief, there indeed is no God.
Mac barely exists outside of the USA and like one other country which I forget. So even though your perception is GNU/Linux desktop doesn't exist it simply isn't true. What the situation really amounts to is that it isn't visible to you with the people and places you go. You can't even use Google's statistics and expect a decent estimate. Here is why: Google dominates in the USA and Germany mostly. Everywhere else it is a lesser player in the market. As a result you are seeing GNU/Linux desktop statistics for those countries. It is no wonder nobody develops for GNU/Linux. The numbers are skewed and then "tests" end up testing the populations which use it the least. Expanding the numbers to places where companies don't operate primarily would changes things drastically. You'd see Mac market share fall and GNU/Linux rise.
Hello, Rabid Stallman Fanboy.
It's good to be so angry. That way, you never have to study new technology (like CLI - hint, that's not Command Line Interface) and you can just play Follow The Leader.
