title: What does Visual Studio offer that Monodevelop lacks?
body: <p>What would a developer used to working in <strong>Visual Studio</strong> have to give up if they switched to <strong>Monodevelop</strong>? This hypothetical developer most often develops <strong>ASP.NET web applications</strong> with <strong>C#</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I'm aware that Monodevelop has the basic Visual Studio features like syntax highlighting and support for Visual Studio solutions. What are the deficiencies that would <strong>most affect the productivity</strong> of a developer giving up Visual Studio?</p>
  
  <p>To keep things consistent, please confine your answers to points about <strong>Visual Studio 2008</strong> and <strong>Monodevelop 2.0</strong>.</p>
