I believe the fork was necessary, and now we have a much better IDE
than what SharpDevelop currently is. I myself will never want to run
SWF on linux and will continue to help with a native gtk development
environment.

As for the name, its unfortunate that it has Mono in it. That may be a
topic for a different discussion.
