I have very limited experience with monodevelop, but this is my experience:
Good:
1. Good intellisense, feels much faster than eclipse.
2. Native toolkits gtk# for linux and winforms for windows. I think a common gui over platforms are futile, it will never excel, because it can't make use of existing infrastructure.
3. Decent documentation.
4. C# is a produktive language - a improved clone of Java, and .net class library is good.
5. Best of all I don't need to use make files! one of the things that has kept me from programming in linux - I HATE MAKEFILES!!!
Bad:
1. No debugger, BIG PROBLEM!
2. As late as the Release candidate, monodevelop tended to crash quite often.
3. ASP.NET support is very incomplete.
4. .net 2.0 support is incomplete (from what I have heard).
