We have written the program in .net and plan to keep it that way. A complete port to another language at this point would be a ridiculous waste of time. There are also .net components that we depend on to make this work and it would also be a waste of time to port those. We have had very few (in fact none, until today) request for this to even be available on Linux and many people are running it under Windows. So, up until this point it has been in the very back of our minds. If/when we decide to port we will be using Mono because it will be an easy transition and will allow us to update them concurrently.
