There is probably business strategy in that, but I remember flash on my mac to be terrible (100% cpu, draining battery like crazy). While the same version on windows was running perfectly.

If it's a couch-developed app for your own use, this is not an issue.
This is not my case, but I really do find value in learning a technology that helps you build cross-platform solution. I seriously considered using it.
"Thankfully, there is the Mono .NET implementation that I can use and it is really well supported."
But it's kind of unsupported and most of the time it lags behind. Currently on my brand new ubuntu system, it's version 3.2, on my "stable" ubuntu its 2.10. The current version is 3.4.
" As well as being open source, Mono also has a company, Xamarin, sponsoring its development as they use the mono system for their IOS and Android ..."
You cannot develop iOS nor Android application on Linux with Xamarin, You need Windows or OS X.
This is old bug still accurate. https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=142
This is an actual deal breaker for us. Haft of the team is using OS X and the other haft Ubuntu.
