MonoDevelop is a cross-platform integrated development environment for .NET and Mono, built with C# and Gtk#, supporting C#, F#, and Visual Basic .NET with debugging, code completion, and a GTK# visual designer. It served as the foundation for Visual Studio for Mac, but the project has been archived and unmaintained since January 2020.

Use cases

  • write C# applications on Linux
  • cross-platform .NET IDE
  • debug Mono applications
  • design GTK# user interfaces
  • develop ASP.NET web projects
  • port Visual Studio .NET projects to Linux and macOS

When to choose

  • you need an open-source IDE for Mono/.NET development on Linux
  • you want to study or fork the codebase that became Visual Studio for Mac
  • you maintain legacy Mono or GTK# projects

When to avoid

  • you need a maintained IDE with current .NET support
  • you want modern C# language features and tooling
  • starting a new project today - use Visual Studio, VS Code, or JetBrains Rider instead
