I think the original question isn't really productive, that's why there's no answer. I can think of many reasons for having a specific IDE for C# and .NET. I mean why vim when you have emacs? Why have eclipse when we have NetBeans or IdealX? Why mono when we already have java. Anyway the question is non sequitor. You can ask what the motivations for producing monodevelop are, but not question its existence. Try rephrasing your question in that light. Personally while I really like eclipse, I find it very weak in non-java areas still. The C/C++ plugin, for example, doesn't have the powerful make facilities that CodeForge has, nor does it have the autoconf capabilities that KDevelop has. Thus for my C and C++ development, eclipse (which is getting much better) isn't my tool of choice. For my current C# needs, Monodevelop fits much better than eclipse.
