[MonoDevelop] Mono Develop 0.4

[Fawad Halim]

Allan,
	You need to keep in mind the difference in scale when you compare 
MonoDevelop and Visual Studio.NET. MS has hundreds of people working on 
VS.NET. They have seperate teams for usability, seperate team for 
installers, etc. The MonoDevelop core team is 4-5 people. Given these 
resources, I'd say MonoDevelop is pretty damn spectacular.

Oh, and FWIW, I was able to install monodevelop on my FC2 laptop by doing

1. cat >>/etc/yum.conf
<yum_conf_files>
2. yum install monodevelop

and it worked the first time around.
