The irony of your post is that it was easier to rewrite sharpdevelop
using gtk# then to get it working with our winforms (because of pinvokes
and windowsisms) ;-)

Monodevelop does not work on windows because its designed to be a first
class IDE on Linux, not a cross platform IDE. So it takes advantages of
things that don't exist on windows, and does things in a more linuxy
way.  Instead of taking the lowest common denominator of two operating
systems (one of which already has plenty of IDEs) they decided to focus
on Linux/Unix.
