to be fair monodevelop and xamarin studio are not equal. The first is low supported and full of bug but free ( i think that is voluntary), the second is not free (at least not if you want to do something decent) and is the main focus of xamarin.
I would say they try to "trap" you in mono with monodevelop to then oblige you to buy something more decent as xamarin studio.
- migueldeicaza 13y agoWrong. Xamarin Studio and MonoDevelop are the exact same code base. The only difference is that Xamarin Studio contains the iOS and Android plugins, plus adds a Xamarin Branding (branding is completely pluggable in MonoDevelop)
- yulaow 13y agoOh, my bad in this case. So why there is not a linux version of xamarin studio? Or it is just because there is not a linux version of the plugins?
- yareally 13y agoMostly because they would have to provide their own Mono runtime as there's too many variations in the vast number of Linux Distros out there. That combined with demand is much lower than that of Windows and OSX for Mono. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15900963/is-it-possible-to-run-xamarin-mono-on-linux http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15900963/is-it-possible-t...
