"Monodevelop is a good tool with Unity"
What do you like best about Monodevelop?

It's simplistic look and style are the keys of mono develop. It's short-keys to navigate around and is compatibility with unity are also a huge plus, especially if you are a game developer. Keep in mind, it's a lot nicer on your processor to use than visual studio or a few other IDE's out there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monodevelop?

There could be more features added to streamline mono develop. Features are missing that other IDE's like visual studio have. Some more customization of styling would be great as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good when it works. Frustrating when it doesn't"
What do you like best about Monodevelop?

works great as a default editor for Unity. Is not a culture shock of an IDE unlike some others (when coming from Visual Studio). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monodevelop?

Doesn't have nearly as many features as VS. Don't exactly like some of the macros. Some of the macros actually don't work if you change the default macros. Some of the formatting values are weird as well. We actually use VS Code and C# formatting to format scripts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for .NET development on Linux"
What do you like best about Monodevelop?

MonoDevelop is free to download and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monodevelop?

onoDevelop doesn't offer much in terms of autocompletion and code formatting. Most of the time the automatic formatting that MonoDevelop does is annoying and not really compliant with C# guidelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the intellisense features that I am used to in Visual Studio, and the ability to create C# applications on Linux. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

C# applications require some additional overhead to run. Not as easily distributable as native applications Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Not of my likings"
What do you like best about Monodevelop?

Nothing that I liked the nest, I used it for a while, while developing games in unity but the editor wasn't of my choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monodevelop?

It was quite slow and laggy, I expected better auto-fill suggestions. I don't know i f there are themes available for Monodevelop but the default one sucks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
