    I think there was a glitch in my installation of unity. Visual studio always pops up when I try to edit! I go to the install monodevelop and it requires the following:

    To install this release, you also need to install the following packages:

    They shouldn't cause any problems. Most likely Microsoft and Mono just haven't bothered to update the list of system requirements. If .NET doesn't like a certain version of Windows it won't allow itself to install, but GTK is basically just libraries in a folder somewhere.

    My advice though is to simply use Visual Studio. You'll be using it about the same way as you would MonoDevelop.

    MonoDevelop is 'built-in' to Unity-- all I had to do in order to 'enable' it was choose 'MonoDevelop (built-in)' as the 'External Editor' under Unity preferences. I also uninstalled the incredibly bloated Visual Studio installation, which uses something like 10+ GB of disk space...

    Yes, but Unity has it beat if you install support for making Android and iOS packages. :p
