I'm currently in a web app team with a C# backend. Two devs run Windows, one has a Mac, and one runs Ubuntu. It works great. And yes, we deploy to Linux using Docker.
then it cannot replace .net .You can put it every ways you want serious C# and .net development is windows only.
Mono doesnt run every C# library out there.
The people pushing mono here dont have to face the consequences of that choice.
It's easy for them to say "it just works", they wont be around when one realises it doesnt work. Dont use mono thinking it really works.It's an experiment.
You say that like it's the most trivial thing in the world. Most people attempting Mono have been loyal Windows-based .NET developers for years. Mono only has value for them if they can port their legacy apps from Windows and .NET to Mono.
I agree with you but I wouldn't do it myself.
