"Unlike Visual Studio, MonoDevelop is free and open source."
Probably many are aware, but there is a free Express version of Visual Studio. I stopped paying for Visual Studio a couple releases ago and have been getting by quite nicely with the free version.

- pauloortins 13y agoIn my opinion a developer should always pursuit the better setup to be able to use all the features that a platform offers. Visual Studio Express lacks important things that the Ultimate Version has. For example, plugins support.
- de90 13y agoYou only need the pro version for plugins.. Although I haven't used express so I cannot speak on if it supports plugins too..
- pauloortins 13y agoWith the professional you lose test coverage =/ but yes, you have plugin support.
- __--__ 13y agoMonoDevelop is free, but if you have a large code base, it's very slow. As in "wait 30 minutes for MonoDevelop to start and analyze the entire project" slow. And then the crashes... Xamarin fixes all of these problems. But then, the free version is limited and the paid version is very expensive. When it comes to IDEs, you really do get what you pay for.
