thanks

A:
You can use SharpDevelop to develop .NET projects, though the support for 4.0 is still in beta status AFAIK.

Looking at the recent changes of SharpDevelop (http://web.archive.org/web/20071215094120/www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Changes.aspx), they didn't do anything since 2007. News History (http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/NewsHistory.aspx) stopped 2005. Is this an old page or is the project dead?

The project isn't dead. Maybe they don't update that pages. Here is a forum thread about the SharpDevelop 4.0 Beta 1 Preview: http://community.sharpdevelop.net/forums/t/10832.aspx

@MicSim: thanks for the link. Indeed, the project isn't dead. it's always bad to not update a web site.

@Stefan: you looked at an old copy of the website at archive.org. The current website http://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Changes.aspx lists all releases.

@Daniel: Yeah, this had been linked by another stackoverflow question, I didn't recognize it. Silly me.

Considering that .NET 4.0 only just came out (at the same time as VS 2010) I would hazard a guess at "No". :)
In general, Visual Studio is by far the best IDE I've ever used. Nothing else even comes close.

MonoDevelop is really catching up. It is not a 100% replacement of VS, because it is based on Mono. The IDE is starting to be really good (GUI designer, debugger, test framework, web and IPhone stuff etc. etc.). Supports .NET 3.5 for now.
