Seemed ok here, but I was only using it as a development enviroment, 
before moving stuff to a MS box.
Interestingly This one worked on mono, but didnt compile on the MS box:
print("some string" +
+ "with an extra plus");

Having tried this, I'm tempted to say, you need a visual enviroment with 
C# (and probably VS.NET), unlike PHP which is a clear and relatively 
verbose language. the use of namespaces, and implied scoping for method 
calls and properties, makes reading and editing it without an editor 
painful, if not impossible. Add to this, the rather large class library 
and available methods to those classes, you will spend alot of time 
hunting for documentation (some of which is still very sparse,even on 
MS's site).

It sounds like mono-develop has autocompletion, which should help alot 
(although last time I tried it didnt recogize things like 
myfile.asp.inc, as it depended on mimetype recognision for language 
recognision).

The best resource I found was monodoc, (alot of the time it's clearer 
and easier to use than microsofts docs), other than that mostly google :)
