        SharpDevelop is a C# only development kit as I understood.
(I haven't downloaded it ,since I cannot run it). It stands no
chance against the VS .NET stuff. 

        But for C# development, it provides all the introspection you'll
ever need.

        Even with pnet & pnetlib in place -- we will face the challenge
of the UI parts .

        VS has somethings called Visual SourceSafe which is CVS like.
AFAIK, KDevelop has CVS support (add,commit,remove) and has all
the stuff a Win32 programmer is familiar with. Morover it works
right now off my box. (and is GPL).

        It supports AutoMake and AutoConf has GDB support and has 
a *lot* of introspection for C/C++. It has a documentation browser
builtin and  has a click based commit/update CVS access. All we need
is put C# in.

        Sorry, Norbert this doesn't come to the idea of the DGDE.
This will help Pnet and not the rest of DotGNU. Modding KDevelop
for C# will prevent duplication of a *lot* of work. And it comes
with almost all KDE'd distros.

        Also KDevelop being GPL'd causes no problems -- and it is 
almost what VS 6 does right *now*.
