[Mono-devel-list] development of monodevelop: why? :P

[xiii29 at free.fr]

I will not answer to the question but I know there is already a C# plugin for
Eclipse ...

(Maybe some others exist ...)
 and there is a link on gotmono ...

Selon Dominik Pich <Dominik at pich.info>:

> I understand monodevelop is a project 'porting' sharpdevelop to mono.
> The question I ask myself why is that effort made instead of taking
> advantage of code already there: eclipse. Made for java it should be
> ideal for a managed language like c# and with its plugin architecture
> should be also well suited to be expanded.
> Besides it is open source.
