Microsoft and Xamarin partner

I don't think that Mono gives you much more in terms of cross-platform compatibility out of the box than say qt or wx do.. It comes to planning, and practice. What it does give you is a really nice language (C#) and platform (Base Class Library) and more for software development. The platform makes it very easy to reference/utilize system libraries (even cross platform ones) to build apps faster on any targeted platform. Being able to utilize code cross platform is a bonus.

Also, in my world (Java) the stack trace is valuable as a software engineering tool. I don't know how folks develop in C, C++, ${other_non_scripting} day in and day out without access to that kind of information. Good debuggers and a ton of printf statements, I guess.

there are tools that resolve addresses into stack traces. it's not as easy as in Java/C#, but it's perfectly doable and a solved problem.
