I almost always develop in a linux environment, but recently I've had to move to C#.

I know monodevelop exists, but I'd like to not use monodevelop for certain reasons.

Are there any other tools available on ubuntu for developing in C#? If I google search this, I get about 20 pages of monodevelop posts. I'm working in .NET 4.5.2.

I know I could just go to windows, but I'm trying to avoid that for now. Thanks,

  • What's bad exactly with MonoDevelop? What are your exact requirements?

  • Nothing is wrong with MonoDevelop, I was just trying to figure out if something else exists. My only requirements are that you can run .NET 4.5.2, and it's an IDE that isn't MonoDevelop. Aug 21, 2016 at 4:35

I'm always reluctant to offer suggestions of non-free software for Linux, but depending on your academic situation or the nature of the project, you might be able to get free or cheap the JetBrains Rider IDE (https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/).

It's essentially the Jetbrains IDEA platform specifically geared around C# development, mainly focused at Unity development but nothing that can't be extended to other projects.

If free is the key, then Consulo (https://github.com/consulo/) might be useful, it's a forked version of IDEA that has more language support within it. Not as fancy, but a good alternative to MonoDevelop at least.

    I don't believe Rider IDE will use .Net 4.5.2 on linux. Most likely, it will end up using Mono. Just like Visual Studio for Ma.
