    I like it - it's a lot speedier, plus makes debugging easier. Once i installed Visual Studio Tools for Unity, I never went back to Mono.

    Well you have to get it separately. Get Visual Studio Community Edition 2015 from Microsoft, it's free and works with Unity.

    If you want to switch your IDE, you can do so by going to Edit/Preferences/External Tools/ External Script Editor

    It's a matter of opinion, but yes you can develop in either IDE you prefer.
