    I've reported it, like in Unity 4.3 (or whenever new MD was added, now can't remember). And it wasn't fixed. And the fix is easy. Just replace broken glibsharpglue-2.dll with proper one. And *poof*, magic, Monodevelop is now fixed. And it ain't crashing.

    Here, I've even put it on dropbox for easy access, so you can fix your damn release: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/210143/glibsharpglue-2.dll

    Put it in Unity/Monodevelop/bin next time you make the installer instead of that broken, 85kb one.

    I am tired of fixing your own release every single time I update Unity.

    It could well be a licensing issue. The fix might be trivially easy, but that doesn't mean Unity are allowed to use and/or distribute it themselves.

    Sure I'll get right on downloading a DLL from someone I don't know and put it right in there.

    Sorry if that sounds mean but a lot of people are going to think just like i did.
    Not saying you're trying to be sketchy so please take no offense.

    +1 for this. Unless you're not on windows there is really no good reason to not use visualstudio. It's free, it doesn't try and mess up your code formatting, you can debug your code much more easily, and it is much more stable.

    Sorry, don't remember, it was when it first started to appear, after that I've reported it along with the fix. Also I tend to regularly clean my mailbox from old mails so I can't look it up.

    Sorry, unless I really am forced to either by my employer or by some project that I can't open/compile properly any other way, I won't use it. The only thing M$ has ever done right was C# and only because people who designed Object Pascal, a.k.a Delphi worked on it.

    I'd rather use vim that Vi$ual$tudio - and I hate vim (nano and mcedit are good though).

    Yep. This was exactly the kind of nonsense response I was expecting to come from such a suggestion, but then it doesn't surprise me after reading some of the posts in that Linux editor thread.

    I simply feel Visual Studio is Microsoft's best product. Despite the really absurd user interface themes they haven't ever disappointed me. It helps that they seem determined to bring better offerings for free users. Express was nice but Community is fantastic.

    Emacs. I used it for quite a while from a terminal. Nano is only good for very simple jobs.

    Well, we're getting far too off-topic here (and thanks for the mods, didn't realize there is a bug reporting forum). I'm about to start Unity again and will report it from Unity bug reporter (again), then post ticket number here.

    Haha, you talk about a "nonsense response" based on fanboy stuff and then chuck this on the end? :p

    Tools are tools. Use ones that get the job done and hold no allegiances.

    Same deal goes with VS. I'm not particularly an MS fan either, but if you can use it there's no reason not to, because as a tool it really is excellent. Don't let dislike of their other products irrationally turn you away from something that's genuinely good just 'cause it has the same brand slapped on the front. Don't willfully make your life any harder than it has to be.

    You do realize you're talking to a guy who stopped playing Minecraft after Notch sold Mojang to MS, do you? Also please leave your penguin badge at the door. You stopped deserving to use it a while ago.

    Also, there's nothing wrong with Monodevelop, it does its job good enough and has intellisense. That's all I need.

    Yeah, I also still use it regularly. Just not on Windows anymore because, while it is indeed an adequate and useful tool, there is a more adequate and more useful tool now readily available at no cost.

    And then code you wrote end up in some MS product (without you receiving a dime) since VS require Internet connection and micro$oft Account. Also it sends "anonymous usage data". Thanks, but no.
