What is bad abotu Xamarin Studio?

• JonathonW 11y ago
  It's gotten better (especially recently), but Xamarin Studio tends to be pretty buggy-- I've seen basic project management tasks (like adding/moving files) crash the IDE; I've had syntax highlighting just stop working for files that compile fine; UI editors are slow, don't match the feature sets of the equivalent native editors, and occasionally break backwards compatibility with themselves (seriously; had the iOS UI editor wipe out some of its own generated code and break my build a couple weeks ago). Again, it's nowhere near as bad as it was about a year ago, but it's still the weak point of Xamarin's toolset (which is, otherwise, pretty great, at least for what we're doing with it).
