Just had a look at VS for mac, and it's very much still MonoDevelop 
underneath: there is a folder Resources/lib/Monodevelop, and the 
extension system is the same. You can even add Alexander's repository 
and install Mono-D, but it later fails due to missing dependencies 
(needs Monodevelop components version 5.1, but VS provides 
"incompatible" versions 7.1).
