Actually everybody will use .NET and not Mono if possible, as it's officially supported and a successor.

The reason to use mono over dotnet is political. This is stirring up some really old shit; I expect a continuation of that shit now. Mono is currently MIT as is dotnet core. Who knows what direction each project will go now? MS has a history of fucking with licenses and Wine uses copyleft setups.

Interesting article. Gives me some light on what Microsoft wants with open source code.
