I've had to do some investigation of VS2005 recently at work, and I'm reminded of just how easy Microsoft can make things. It's really a nice environment. Much better than VS2003, which isn't entirely bad itself. But the decision to use it at home would represent a submission to the Microsoft juggernaught. A well-paying, life-easing master it is, but make no mistake - it shares first place with no one.
But my thoughts always stray back to mono. I can use mono on Linux, which is quickly becoming my favorite OS. I can also use mono on my Macbook, which is the only laptop we own (currently). And I can still use mono on Windows as well, for those times when I must again get paid.
The note I set on Windows Messenger at work sums it up: Linux+mono for freedom, or Windows+VS for plush, thumb-sucking ease? However will I decide...
