Mike Krueger is the creator of sharpdevelop IDE and now joins Novell.
He will develop monodevelop ide with ankit, lluis and Jeff, and share a lot between sharpdevelop and monodevelop. Code.
I am very excited about this message. Sharp develop is an open-source. Net ide. I personally think it is quite good. Of course, if Visual Studio (especially express edition) is available on Windows platforms, you will not use it. You can try it out at most (for example, I have always tried every major release of SD)
However, on the Linux platform, Mono has never had a good ide. Although monodevelop is available, it is still immature. I have been wondering why the mono team does not port sharpdevelop to mono. Of course, sharpdevelop uses a large number of dedicated underlying APIs for windows, so it is also easy to transplant.
But now, with the addition of Mike Krueger, I believe monodevelop will become mature soon. We hope monodevelop will become the first IDE in Linux.
