Good luck!

I hope you will offer a paid version of Xamarin Studio and a free
version (with the mobile phone development tools being paid plug-ins)
so that Xamarin Studio will replace MonoDevelop and allow those of us
who want to give Xamarin money to pay for Xamarin Studio.

I love free software (as in speech) and I have no problems paying for
it (as in beer).

Excellent! Looking forward to things to come...
