[MonoDevelop] Forms Designer in MonoDevelop

[Lluis Sanchez Gual]

> I hope this feature will be available in MonoDevelop future releases,

We currently have no plans to include a WinForms designer in MD. It is
just too much work (taking into account the age of the technology), and
other features have more priority.

Not all professional .net developers use WinForms. Many are happy users
of ASP.NET, Silverlight, GTK#, MonoTouch, etc.
