"Great Cross Platform development tool"

Can be a little overwhelming with all of the options available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Lacking many features of other IDEs "
What do you like best about Monodevelop?

Can attach to the older version off the Unity game engine we use to act as debugger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monodevelop?

Lack of theme options. Intellisense is often broken and doesn't show nearly enough options as other more fully featured IDEs. Code syntax errors are often not shown/highlighted until building the project. and Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best C# environments, period."

It needs support for more languages. It currently only supports C# and F#. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quite reliable choice when you work on Linux"
What do you like best about Monodevelop?

The best about Monodevelop is... that it actually works on Linux and lets you develop ASP.NET applications with C#. Debugging when process is running works fine. I had to downgrade to older version of Monodevelop so I could run server process to host my ASP.NET application and debug it, but overall experience wasn't bad. Monodevelop gives you somewhat similiar experience to Visual Studio with smart advices when you code and showing errors live. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monodevelop?

Installation of more recent versions was bad experience. Also for my ASP.NET 4 MVC application to work I had to add MySQL provider entry to some global configuration file hidden somewhere on filesystem. There were also problems working with ASP.NET server and I had to switch to older version of Monodevelop so I could run and debug my application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"MonoDevelop: .Net IDE for non-Windows users"
What do you like best about Monodevelop?

MonoDevelop is an IDE with common features that we can find in other IDE such as debugging, refactoring, auto-suggest and so on. It supports C# compiler and provides tools to run .Net applications on Linux and MacOS. Cross-platform availability is the main reason .Net developers are using MonoDevelop. That is also the reason I am using MonoDevelop since I am Linux user which have to enhance and maintain .Net applications sometimes. MonoDevelop is the perfect solution for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monodevelop?

It's slow (well..even Visual Studio is slow on old PC) and sometimes, just crashed. The UI is not that intuitive but work fine and the Unity integration leads to many issues and debugger gives some unexpected errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"IDE with many features and integrations and great with stetic GUI."
What do you like best about Monodevelop?

IDE with traditional features like code formatting, automatic code completion are all its inbuilt features. It is open source which helps for indepth coding. It has a gtk GUI designer i.e; stetic which is great to develop GTK+ user interface in c#. It supports many languages like c#,java,c,visual basic NET and manymore. I used C# in monodevelop IDE which is best with it. And other best part is while developing games in Unity software coding with C# can be done in monodevelop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Monodevelop?

User interface is bit tough to get adjusted as a beginner for which some time is required to learn and then goahead with the tool. Sometimes hanginging that is too rare. But this is the best for game developers which is well integrated in unity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
