F-Spot is written in C#. C# is a CIL-only language, and requires the |
| 9 |
Mono runtime to execute. |

If you consider F-Spot a "real" Linux application, then clearly Mono is |
| 12 |
used by "real" Linux applications. The author of F-Spot, at least, |
| 13 |
considered it stable enough to use. |

If you don't consider Mono stable, you'll have to use something other |
| 16 |
than F-Spot. Unfortunately I don't know of an application for Linux |
| 17 |
that does everything that F-Spot does, except maybe Picasa from Google? |
