Yes.

MonoDevelop has moved on. Its had two going on three major versions 
since aBothe moved on with life.

It was the best IDE IMO for D at the time (I still have it installed) 
but have switched to IntelliJ IDEA for D since then.

I've tried updating it, but honestly MonoDevelop's code base is one of 
the worst I've ever seen. Very few if any comments.
