I fail. Maybe this time it will be different. Mono guys should release official LiveCD with all tools/libs/IDEs set up by them, with documentation in place. Now I have to fiddle and pray that current off-the-repo version would "work-as-adv".
It would ease my pain with digging around new releases not to mention I could carry CD and show it to my C#/.NET programming friends.

maybe?
Mono 1.2 will have it, it's due to be released around June I think. More here: http://www.mono-project.com/Mono_Project_Roadmap#Mono_1.2
Does stetic support free form GUI layout, ie with out the use of formal layout managers? Something like the way VS NET, Delphi and VB handle visual design."
I'm sure it does. That's the easy way to do GUI layout with absolute positioning, etc. I think nearly all GUI designers/toolkits provide this.
Of course it's totally unportable.

Major features I like
1) Support for System.Winforms ( coming in mono 1.2 )
2) Banshee music player.
3) Fspot photo manager.
4) The best desktop search Beagle
5) Tomboy desktop notes.
6) nGallery - the "managed" image galary.
7) Integrated support to postgreSQL and MySQL databases.
8) Embeded support to XML.
I like mono to such an extent that I have changed my desktop from KDE to GNOME. I know that we have a port of many GTK# applications in KDE too, but still lack many apps like monodevelop itself.
I hope some fine day qt# will be production ready and I can try KDE again. Till then it is Gnome Ubuntu all the way for me.
