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?

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.

Doublecheck, sir, it says a promotional kit with copies of the three titles. Not promo copies.

WAIT. I'm not finished.
