After a while with Mono, I'm eagerly awaiting DDT integrating with Dub and going back to Eclipse. It isn't that slow if your computer isn't. No, really. And there are things you can do to the initialization file that sometimes cuts the loading time down to something manageable. And while starting it can last you a lifetime on a bad day, unlike certain other editors that start instantly, it doesn't crash all the time.

Mono is... kinda meh. It's very nice when it works. It works most of the time. But when it doesn't it's like fighting the tides. It's not even Mono-D that is bad, it's the editor itself that sucks. Cascades of null pointer exceptions accompanied by popups that I don't know how to disable, sometimes following every single keystroke kills productivity. I don't even get how or why or when it resets.
