respect to icaza for his contributions (tho I was on the KDE side of the gnome/kde desktop "wars"), but has the "Whatever he works on today will likely be part of a stack you work on in a few years" been true for a long time?
i'm rather unfamiliar with his work post-mono.
After successfully getting Xamarin acquired by Microsoft, apparently he got disappointed how everything turned out, especially the decisions that lead to the Xamarin.Forms to MAUI rewrite, MonoDevelop being killed, or what is left of Mono/Xamarin.
Nowadays he is full into Apple and Swift ecosystem, doing apps, and contributing to Godot on Apple, making it Swift first with goodies for doing iPadOS based game development.
Development focused on iPadOS as an export platform, or using an iPad as the actual dev environment?
Actual dev environment, they've ported the Godot editor to SwiftUI and touch controls.

Everybody could see how the whole Microsoft thing was going to go except Miguel, apparently. Worse he was very smug and self-righteous about selling out.
