I tried Mono-D. No dice, it uses about 1.5Gb of RAM on my 2 file "project".
And of course runs out of memory on every single click. Guess I'll wait 
till the end of GSOC. What it does is for now:
-looks nice
-shows errors in-line, I actually kind of liked it
-almost good auto-completion

But it lacks:
- fast editor ;)
- no crashes & mem leaks plz
