Choosing an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
Available Choices
Currently there are 3 free, GPLed development enviroments available
for use with mono.
- Emacs
- Eclipse
- SharpDevelop
Comparing
Everyone has his own needs, but at least one IDE should fit your
needs. I've put together the pros and cons of all of them.
Emacs
+ very powerful
+ multiplatform
- difficult for newcomer
Eclipse
+ powerful
+ multiplatform
+ easy to use
+ widely proven
- needs big and proprietary SUN Java JDK
- very slow on a PII 350 and maybe even on new machines
SharpDevelop
+ powerful
+ easy to use
+ perfectly suited for C#
+ Many designers and assistants.
- only runs on windows.
