[MonoDevelop] Review of MonoDevelop

[IBBoard]

I'd second this - openSUSE used to be run by Novell, who used to employ
lots of the key Mono developers. That meant it had a history of using
Mono and being up-to-date, so I made the switch.

openSUSE moved away from Linux but the Mono legacy continues. The
Mono:Factory [1] repository is normally quite up-to-date. Also, as a
desktop OS, both Gnome and KDE are well supported and the openSUSE Build
Service provides pretty much the same end-user facilities as PPAs, and
is all searchable with one-click installs from software.opensuse.org [2].
