[MonoDevelop] Is monodevelop really Xamarin Studio now?

[David Nelson]

This question gets asked and re-asked a lot. Can the website(s) be updated to better clarify the relationship between MonoDevelop and Xamarin Studio?

Go figure, the windows installer is the Xamarin Studio installer.  So does that mean that monodevelop is now really Xamarin?  The website talks about it like they are different, so it feels like monodevelop is basically just trying to disguise what it's basically becoming.  I want to figure out the best options for building what I want mobilewise, but it seems like hopping to the .net side is as usual always requiring money out of your pocket to do things.
