Cocoa's AppKit is very powerful and provides a UI that has always been more consistent than what I've experienced on Windows. The last time I tried .Net/WinForms several years ago it was severely lacking in the functionality and flexibility of controls like tables and toolbars, and the UI of many Windows apps still tends to look and act slightly different from each other, with Microsoft being the biggest culprits in this inconsistency.

I think the focus of the CLR/.NET team at MS at this stage is on the server side (eg: ASP.NET).

So it's not going to suddenly open the floodgates of .NET apps running on a Mac. That's still a long long way away (if at all).
