You can write programs in C# that run under Mono or DotGNU in Linux and under .NET in Windows. If you want to write them on a Windows machine you use VS and if you want to write on a Linux box you use vi or whatever. So there is nothing refuted about VS. Delphi was a bad example so discard that and take e.g. C++/Qt as another commercial cross platform offering. -- No intelligent man has any respect for an unjust law.
