As you noticed, Visual Studio for mac is basically Xamarin Studio, so 
the API is very different to VS for Windows.

I tried VS for mac once, and AFAIR it even installed Mono-D, but some 
referenced assemblies have changed. I suspect it wouldn't be too much 
work to adapt Mono-D, but that would be unlikely me doing it ;-)
