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

[Dominik Pich]

I didnt post here because I couldnt find a plugin (I admit I didnt  
try ;))
I posted here because I wondered (and still do) why there is  
monodevelop.

Is there a ...technical reason... is it just for fun.. or just  
because you dont like eclsipse.....or
I DONT KNOW :)
