Yes, this behavior drives me nuts as well.

Given the following code:
return View();

If you put the marker are the end of the line, then VS will delete,
for each Ctrl+Backspace, first the ;, then the ), then the (, and then
"View". When doing the same manoeuvre in MD, it will delete all of
"View();" already on the first hit on Ctrl+Backspace.

Not sure which behavior is "better", I guess if you're only using
MonoDevelop, perhaps this is something you get used to. But when
switching back and forth, the difference is aggravating. I find that
monodevelop constantly deletes more than I really intended.
