That's sad...sorry for the ignorance, but how much work it is to 
integrate the current mwf-designer stand alone app?, beside as far as I 
know, sharpdevelop it have one, I know that it probably use .Net 
services and clases that don't exist in mono or are not complete, but 
each mono release is more feature compatible with .Net, so may be is not 
to much. I also know that if you think in a really feature complete, 
stable, etc mwf-designer comparable with the VS.NET one is probably a 
big task, but may be is more doable to think in a "basic" one, that it 
can be even unstable (sorry, but we are all use to have unstable 
"features" in MD, come on, what feature in MD it wait to be really 
mature to be included?). That can bring the attention and jump from 
there...I can even offer my help if some of the MD gurus and hopefully 
the mwf-designer developer can give me a hand...

Agree, no ALL professionals, no one says that, but definitely a big 
bunch...you compare winform with silverligh??, really?, how many 
developers you think they are around using silverlight compared with 
experienced winforms ones?...And the comparision is not fair, MD don't 
have silverlight designer neither...
