Does anybody think that in the future professional development will be done on other platforms using MonoDevelop? Therefore making C# multiplatform.

To my knowledge, MonoDeveleop seems already multiplatform. Have a look: http://monodevelop.com/

Android Phones, Windows, iPhone, Windows Phone, XBox-360, Linux, OSx - Looks multiplatform already.

Personally, I don't think so. But this is my own opinion

My argument being, why use .net (a Microsoft Product, subject to their often over-zealous licensing terms) when you can use Java to create a true multi-platform application, with the same ease as .net?

Also, C++ allows for multi-platform development, offering performance you can't have in Java, however, it takes longer to developer.

Personally, I understand why Mono exists, but it will not replace Java.
