As I said that I am a technology evangelist. I like new technology in .NET as well as open source. Other thing which I liked was Mac. But before MonoDevelop both were two different worlds. You could not develop a .NET application on a Mac OS X. MonoDevelop has solved most of my problem or you can say it is the new bridge between different platforms.

MonoDevelop is an opensource Integrated development environment for Linux platform, Mac OSX and Windows(to be supported in future). It allows you to develop software targeted to Mono and .NET framework. This IDE has feature like intellisense, source control integration and an integrated GUI and Web designer

MonoDevelop has recently launched the latest version of the IDE. To read more about it http://monodevelop.com/Download/MonoDevelop_2.0_Released.

If you’ve worked with Microsoft Visual Studio, you will see many similarities in MonoDevelop and will feel quite comfortable in the Mono environment. If you’re new to MonoDevelop and haven’t worked in Visual Studio, you’ll find that the learning curve is not very steep.

A new competitor for Visual Studio IDE…. eeh…lets see!!
