You've made it perfectly clear that you where not sure it was about NOMO. Quote from your post: At risk of being too speculative... Keep up the good work ;-) @ Roy:

Now let's take a look at these supposedly "Superior" apps: 1. F-Spot: Yet another bitmap viewer/editor, for which there are half a dozen MONO-Free alternatives: gThumb, DigiKam (just to name a few). 2. TomBoy notes: recently rewritten by the author in C++, besides that many users have Screenlets installed on Gnome and what do we find in the Screenlets manager? Ah, notes! and like Ed Landaveri already wrote: GNote. 3. Gnome-goo: a supposedly "advanced" program launcher (runner). I installed it, when MONO was still installed on my Ubuntu box. Other than occupying diskspace it did nothing even worth mentioning. The key combination [Alt]+ [F2] will popup a similar "launcher" on Gnome and it even support auto addition. Someone who calls this MONO dependent junk "superior" will eventually claim that EDLIN of MS-DOS was probably a "superior" text editor as well. I also laughed about those imaginary “SUPERIOR” apps.

Only a loser can call those "superior" applications. No way! People all over the world are waking up to the realization that using mono ONLY benefits Microsoft's NON-HIDDEN agenda whose ONLY goal it's neutralization and destruction of GNU/Linux && FLOSS Down with mono apps! Welcome GNote and anything that has NO mono! Do NOT forget ONLY GNU/GPL v3 is Open Source. Anything else it's just a mockery! “don’t want to be using a lagging version of proprietary s???t” To be correct!
