Yeah, especially since you need to pay a regular fee to use Xamarin, and it's not libre software either. If a free Xamarin came out I'd jump on the C# boat in

If a free Xamarin came out I'd jump on the C# boat in a heartbeat, which I guess is what MS is trying to do with all this open sourcing (free software-ifying?).
- josteink 12y ago> Yeah, especially since you need to pay a regular fee to use Xamarin You can use Monodevelop[1] which is 100% FOSS. AFAIK Xamarin is just Monodevelop with some extra wrappers and custom libraries for cross-platform mobile-development. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. If you're just making normal applications, libraries or web-solutions you don't need Xamarin. [1] http://www.monodevelop.com/ http://www.monodevelop.com/
- Rapzid 12y agoI have used Xamarin Studio a lot in the past for free. It's the mobile stuff that costs extra. Now I lean a bit more toward Visual Studio as it is free for my purposes.
