We have tried some basic web service request code in C#, and it runs
the same in both .NET and Mono. We also made the same WS requests
in Java. There were a couple fewer source lines of code in the
C# versus Java.

It does take some effort for a Visual Studio .NET developer to keep
the generated code true to the ECMA C# and CLI standards (no
MS-specific extensions) so that it is Mono-compatible. No such
issues on the Java side.

For the "most portable" apps, Java is probably the better choice.
