I'm afraid you are right, it is only partially useful. I use VS to build,
compile and test on Windows and then only compile and run on Mac. I have
however managed to write a couple of lines of code and made some small
changes with this version without getting a compile error because of white
space as was the case with the previous builds. Not ready to migrate to
MonoDevelop as my IDE of preference yet.
