Avalon is UI based on XML.

That idea has been around for years now.

One example is Glade..which you can work with in Linux or Windows by
downloading the gtksharp toolkit and mono.

It does not mean that any backend, database, or server programming will
not use c#.

Face it, WinForms is a crappy technology that went out the window with VB5.
