[Mono-list] Re: C# plugin for eclipse

[Erik Dasque]

Well, I think that developers are unlikely to drop the development tool 
they like to use another one even if it's arguably better. MonoDevelop 
is shaping up to be a great tool and we like it very much. However, we 
have to make sure that we look beyond MD and provide support to other 
IDEs and that includes Eclipse.
