Re: SharpDevelop

You can download C# Express from Microsoft for free.  Apparently you can even 
use it in developing commercial projects:

Heyo
 
Seemed better to put this in this list than in the RPG list.
 
I was doing some RPG XML web service integration to C#.NET this week and
ended up having to pony up a little on C#.NET so I could test things on my
own before handing them off to C#.NET developers.  Because I was on the road
and didn't have access to Visual Studio I went ahead and downloaded the free
SharpDevelop IDE (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/) and was curious
to know if others have used this to learn the ".NET Way" and test the
integration of .NET with their iSeries.  Seems like a cheap alternative to
Visual Studio and so far I am very impressed with how similar it is to
Visual Studio (which I have on a different computer).
 
Any opinions that might steer me away from it?
 
Thanks,
Aaron Bartell
