MonoDevelop is a free development environment for creating C#, Java, Boo, Nemerle, Visual Basic .NET, Vala, CIL, C, and C++ applications. It is available for Windows and other platforms. MonoDevelop is a popular choice for developers who want to maintain a single codebase across multiple platforms, so that we will tell you about this program in more detail.

Why is this program so good?

The user interface of MonoDevelop for Windows is well-designed. The program is speedy and easy to use. The source code editor is worthy of all praise and has everything you would expect from a modern editor of this kind, including automatic color highlighting of syntax constructions and a pop-up menu prompting you to complete the started construction. This menu, in particular, contains the names of functions, variables, and class members from your program (this means that this tool carefully parses your code).
