Well I think our own Qt/KDE 'supporters' are the biggest problem when trying 
to have rational discussions about mono and a Qyoto release. For instance, 
this guy segedunum seems to want to have a one man 'jihad' against all things 
mono, on OS News:

http://www.osnews.com/comment.php?news_id=18020&offset=60&rows=75&threshold=-1

To which Miguel replies with:

"P/Invoke is where the real problem is, you would know that if you spend more 
time understanding Mono than attacking everything that might compete with KDE 
and Qt which you seem to defend religiously. "
...


"You seem to be upset that am not investing in whatever technology you think 
must "win" you almost seem like you are annoyed that you can not control the 
direction that other people choose. 
 
 Feel free to go and implement your own strategy and keep us posted. "
...

Well in fact that's exactly what we've doing here, and having some guy flaming 
all the time who doesn't seem to actually contribute code to anything, 
doesn't really help our project much.
