Ah, the supposed Gnome/KDE battle again. This is like claiming it's a problem to make a mobile website because it might be used on either iOS devices or Android devices. Since they both have a browser, the fact that it is a completely differen OS isn't relevant. A Gnome application runs fine in KDE and visa versa (or XFCE, LXDE, Enlightenment,... whatever you choose will do). In the past they looked a little different, but these days the themes cary over so the applications even look the same and freedesktop.org solved the integration issues (menu shortcuts, tray icons,...). In any case, for multiplatform development the obvious choice is and has been wxwidgets for decades already so the point is completely moot. One code base for Windows, Linux and MacOSX without problems, plenty of succesfull examples out there already. All that said, the best way forward for business applications is Web based anyway, so GUI shouldn't even be much of a problem. Carying over the .NET bridge to Mono/.NET core or even better Java on non windows platforms is highly desireable though, to gain access to a wide range of business oriented development libraries. As for Zamolxis, it's a nice idea, but wouldn't it make more sense to just take the PDSOE plugins, add them to a native Eclipse and try to reimplement the classes that don't work on linux instead? The only problem I see there is that you'd probably need both a windows and linux dev license.
