> There's a funny thing about its cross-platform nature: You almost never see C# apps on other platforms. Why is that? There must be thousands of useful C#/.Net applications made that other platforms could benefit from

I'm not sure that that's actually the case. C# has never caught on in a big way for consumer desktop development; the bulk of that still seems to be C++ and Win32/Win32 wrapper. It's used for _enterprise_ desktop development, of course, but people are less excited about porting that.

Yeah, that could explain it. Sort of like how you rarely see Java client applications...
Eclipse, PyCharm?
