It is a very good open source alternative for developing on the .NET platform that provides support (including code completion) for C#, VB.NET, Boo, and other languages. There is also NAnt support via a plugin that can be found in the SharpDevelop source code (it isn't actively maintained anymore but it should should still work).
This being said, I am not 100% sure if this would be the best choice as it is only targeting the .NET platform, not Mono. Also, it is not cross platform as it employs windows specific P/Invoke calls, if I remember past conversations correctly. > Let me try to rephrase my questions.

One is MonoDevelop and the other is Eclipse with the Emonic plugin. Both are cross platform and open source projects that should be easily available to anyone who wants it. However, MonoDevelop may be the better option of the two since it was originally based on SharpDevelop code and has many of the same features as its parent.
