Comments on: How Xamarin gave Mono a life after Novell http://gigaom.com/2011/12/12/xamarin-mono/ Sun, 19 May 2013 16:33:22 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Justin http://gigaom.com/2011/12/12/xamarin-mono/#comment-786748 Fri, 30 Dec 2011 02:35:26 +0000 http://gigaom.com/?p=453860#comment-786748 Linux is still dear in the hearts of many at Xamarin. I would not be surprised if it is still not the main platform used for developing Mono itself. They are still supporting the old Novell customers as well.

Mac is quickly overtaking Linux in importance for Xamarin though as it is where MonoDevelop runs for MonoTouch. MonoTouch has to be their primary breadwinner. I think that Miguel has switched to Mac as his primary desktop for example.

It would be interesting to know what the OS of choice is for Mono for Android customers. Linux is probably quite popular with them although I would be surprised if Windows was not the biggie and Mac is no doubt popular as well.

Certainly Mono continues to work brilliantly on Linux and MonoDevelop just keeps getting better and better.

So, why would it still be a priority?
