Ok, I know this is probably a stupid question, but I'm looking for a good Visual Studio alternative on the Mac, preferably one that can run my programs in Mono. I know there's a plugin for XCode, but it apparently hasn't been updated for XCode 3.0.

The reason why I'm looking for this is that I have VS on my MacBook running under VMWare Fusion, but it's a bit of a pain as VS eats up a lot of RAM and processor cycles. Especially when running OS X and Windows at the same time.

I like TextMate a lot, but I don't really want to pay $60 for it.

So, does this exist or am I asking the impossible?

It is a promotional version, just to be clear.

Nope, full liscensed copies. This isn't my first MS event.

They are technically called promotional events, but they are full licensed copies.

I got my copy of Vista Enterprise the same way.

Well, the website says promotional copies... And it wouldn't be my first Microsoft event either wink.gif

If the old boards were still around I think you'd find posts of me handing out XP and Visual Studio back in 2004.
