I've never used mono myself, either. (if I was worried about cross platform I would probably go with Java or Python to begin with)

I tend to agree with your second point somewhat; I'll take a performance hit for readability (which isn't too often a case in C# because of the way it compiles) but if there's absolutely no advantage to doing something a slower/less efficient way that's just a programming sin.

/me agrees

I find C# to be utterly annoying syntactically. I can't stand it. Besides, I'd prefer to keep to portability, which is a lot easier using C++ and a framework that already runs on linux and mac OS as well.

I've tried a bit of C++ before going into C#, and I don't really prefer either syntax, they're basically the same.
I find C# to be simply easier, however, especially when making GUIs, which I find to be quite a pain in any other language.

I had the same opinion about GUIs until I started using Qt.
