There is also a C# plugin for Eclipse (www.eclipse.org) so you can do C#,
Java (real Java), C/C++ and other languages all side-by-side. These are
all opensource. Well, everything but the C# compiler and the .Net framework
from MS which might be the real reason not to do it (No - NOT because it
is from MS). Make sure you read the licensing on those real close.
Just don't currently try C# on Linux. Ok, you might be able to do a little.
