You might give it a try. It's backed by the really big player, IBM for one. I think Eclipse is just as powerful as Visual Studio with the correct plugins for whatever language you’re using.

I used it a lot the first couple of months on ubuntu just to get acquainted ... and I felt quite at home... Should you need some sample code just give me a shout... eff I thought you would like it since it works with QT libraries and all… I used it a lot the first couple of months on ubuntu just to get acquainted … and I felt quite at home… Should you need some sample code just give me a shout…

It was just algebra or something, I liked the class, but hated being locked inside during the summer. I'd take breaks and go pull weeds out in the garden, and then sometimes forget to go back to class. I really do miss that school, only reason I hung around there as long as I did. My new IDE is firebug. I took a summer class at COD not to long ago. It was just algebra or something, I liked the class, but hated being locked inside during the summer.

Same thing for any serious search/replace. My point with GTK (I think Mono needs only GTK, no?) was in part that it'd be a rare installation that doesn't have it already for apps like Firefox or Gimp. And for an even moderately complex app, the addition of another library just isn't very significant for either memory or disk space. Note that I would never argue for a GTK version of, say, Scribus either, for the same reason; libgtk and libQT just aren't anything to argue about. For an entire desktop stack like Gnome or KDE (or a whole environment like Java, arguably a worse resource hog than either) things are different of course.

If you try running MoMA (http://www.mono-project.com/MoMA) over one of your source trees you should see how likely your apps are to run under mono. Some things are really easy to get working cross-platform. Mono does do .NET 2.0 but as should probably be expected it’s not at 100% compatibility (yet).
