I'm not saying nobody should but I bet a shitload more people go with natively supported, which might be a better term than default.

And yeah this isn't at all specific to C#. Anything not natively supported suffers - just ask Flash who in a handful of years have gone from a defacto standard to a dinosaur.

I would say the experience is what matters. The user doesn't care what technology the developer used. If you can make gorgeous, fluid and speedy native apps with Mono and C# (which is very much possible) while at the same time making it easier to do cross platform development and deployment then why not.
