Ask HN: Which .NET applications might be (better) on Mac/Linux soon?

6 points by mcbetz 11y ago ↗ HN

When I read about Microsoft open-sourcing .NET, my first thought were: Cool, finally Pain.NET might run on Mac OS X soon.

I'm not sure, whether my hopes are justified, but I bet there are quite a few nice applications out there that are on .NET and are either not at all available on Mac/Linux (Pain.NET) or with limited native support on Mono (e.g. KeePass).

Which .NET applications do you hope will get run (better) on Mac/Linux soon?

Rick Brewster, the creator of Paint.NET, damped my hopes already:

"This affects nothing for Paint.NET at this time."

I'd love to have Fiddler in linux!

Btw, does any one know of Fiddler alternatives for linux in the meantime?

There has been an alpha of fiddler on mono for some time now: http://fiddler.wikidot.com/mono, rejoice!
