Mono 1.2 only fully supports .net 1.1 (for winforms) so the Turbo C#
would be a good choice as would Delphi.net.
You would have to stick to the standard winforms controls, but you can
create a very rich application with just the stock controls.
What kind of problems have you seen with the VCL as a project matures?
I have never run into any issues and have several mature/large projects.
