Shane's web-site might be a decent link here to get the view of a small 
software development company who'd considered moving to .NET and decided 
to skip it:

Of course, there's a bias there (as everywhere).  Still, .NET does 
appear to be falling by the wayside as a marketing strategy, and 
marketing is 90% of the .NET story.

There are lots of things that can be salvaged from the train-wreck 
(there were lots of good ideas; introspectable bundles, standards for 
cross-language module interface definitions, built-in networking 
libraries), but jumping on the train just before it hits the stantion to 
try to pull them out seems less than useful. 

Spending precious resources binding wx to .NET, or Python, for that 
matter, seems rather a waste.  Sure, if there's a particular problem you 
run into where you need it, devote the time, but without that, it 
doesn't seem a particularly good engine to pull the Python train.
