"The combination of his disdain for Windows forms (the API, or just that type of app?) and also web services leads me to believe that he feels that the power of .NET is creating neat-o web applications real easy. Now, granted, you can do that. But some of the real power is creating applications for Windows (or maybe OS X if Mono goes that way) that have the ease deployment, scalability, and extensibility of the web applications, with the added benefits of a rich client. Right?"
This concerns me as well. Perhaps the problem is that Miguel spends 100% of his time off in Linux land where there are no decent IDEs and app development is about 10 years behind. Maybe by the time people actually use Gnome for desktop tasks he'll come around...
