I'm amazed that more people don't use Mono. Best of world to me is using Visual Studio for local development, and then deploying to a Linux server running Mono and Apache/Nginx. It's actually a lot less painful than people think, after you get ramped up a very small learning curve as to what is not supported in Mono.. And if you want to go completely free, MonoDevelop also isn't too bad, though you will find an occasional bug

The vast majority of startups in the Valley use MacBooks for development.

Unless mono has improved dramatically in the last 5 years it has that poor man's C# feeling about it - when I had to develop for it was nightmare - it had problem managing a lot of io buffers and silent improvements like making dictionary thread safe had some very very bad side effects in non blocking io applications.
