From my POV: as soon Mono becomes a first class citizen (starting with a robust, cross platform IDE to hosting on Linux without hassle/shortcomings) I'm sold.

Until then, everything .NET is a non starter because I don't care for Windows. At all.

Mind you, I don't need it to be open source/FOSS etc.

They're headed there - it's not a coincidence that the new compiler (Roslyn) was announced with full Mono support and Miguel de Icaza standing next to Anders.
