MonoGame plan to create a non-profit foundation to support development
The fallout from the big Unity mess continues, with the MonoGame team jumping in to present a new plan for the future of this open-source and cross-platform framework for game developers.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)

Of course it all depends on how many of the shops (or better: share of the current market invested in unity) drop their unity commitment in favor of MonoGame for new projects. If it is still "one out of many" then, it's not worth fighting them.

With "flies under the radar", I mean that it isn't a big player commercially with market share of say more than 5% yet. Not yet interesting enough.
I am aware of the history - I once fiddled with XNA for my own pet project (and switched to Unity for later projects).
