IMO it's really good to integrate all those softwares in MD, but i think
you should consider the process as a component integration: in the end
.net is just about components.
I'm not looking at bonobo, here bonobo is useless, the object model is
.net
I'm speaking about treating monodoc, mono-debugger, nunit-gtk, perhaps
sql# as components that can be plugged inside MD or can be run alone.
To see an example consider msdn browser, it runs inside vs or as a
standalone application (I guess it's the same code maybe it's not).
Ultimately I see that the experience from bonobo can helps a lot.
