A boombox is not a toy!

Volte's experience is almost exactly what my co-workers say. I was smart enough to say I didn't want a license because I'd be focusing on the backend services so I've avoided most of their hell.

We used Xamarin to build a large, heavily used iOS/Android app at work, and the initial appeal of using C# for everything was quickly lost. Quirks, bugs, spotty support and the black box nature of the abstraction has led to lost productivity. The two guys that are still working with it are strongly considering a rewrite in native languages even though they love C# and work in it almost exclusively.
