We made a decision a while ago that we will use Mono's System.Windows.Forms 
implementation once it matures (http://www.go-mono.com/winforms.html).  It 
will be hard enough to get one open source implementation of Forms working, 
let alone two.  So it is best to share that code.

We decide an a case by case basis whether it is useful for us to develop our 
own library, or reuse someone else's.

We do already support the Gtk# and Qt# widget sets for GUI development, so web 
services aren't our only focus.
