MonoDevelop on Windows will be just a great failure, the market has already big alternatives, like Visual Studio Express Edition from Microsoft (who won't use Visual Studio on Windows?) and SharpDevelop ( from which they seem to have taken the code ). Also GTK->Mono->WinAPI will be a huge beast and won't be able to compete with the .NET stack ( who knows the hidden Windows API that it is still undocumented better than Microsoft itself?). The answers are left for Mono developers.
For those of us who turned down those propositions there was a struggle; we needed to justify not having skinnerboxes or "social" accounts in some site run by a private company
In a lot of ways, so-called 'Vibe Coding' is already considered vapourware or a passing fad promoted in the media by managers who try to justify mass layoffs, especially ridding companies of "very expensive" software engineers
"No matter how much financial hocus-pocus they use to reclassify revenues to land in the "sexy" buckets (AI, Quantum), it still smells old and musty - just like this company."
