Please please please submit bug reports - we want to get MonoDevelop
to the point where it doesn't ever crash (or as close to that ideal as
possible). To do this, we need to know what crashes people are running
into.

Yea, Xcode 4's IB is quite different from Xcode 3's, but I think once
you get used to it you'll like it. We're also working hard on writing
documentation on how to use Xcode 4's IB from the perspectives of both
a new user and as a user who is familiar with Xcode 3's IB, so
hopefully that will help.

Honestly, I'm not sure. I think most of the old ctors weren't really
valuable and so they were stripped out. You can still add them, of
course.
If you feel they should be created, you could submit a bug report to
http://bugzilla.xamarin.com
I've been writing an iPad app in my spare time and have not felt the
need for these and they never really made sense to me so I haven't
felt the need to poke the MonoDevelop developers about this.
Wish I could have been more helpful,
Jeff
