Has anybody ported code from .Net to Mono?

So, you tell us your biases against Visual Studio and Microsoft are set in stone, and then ask for help in porting code .., and, as you get responses from well-intentioned CP members, you respond with one-line negations. You are a troll, albeit not a clever, or entertaining, one: QED

Do you miss the soapbox? What can I do to make you happy again? Shall I call you a crying fanboy? Then let me tell you that I'm the least fanboiish guy you will ever meet. My way of doing things does not fit very well to their ideas how I should be doing them. Fine, then let's part ways. I'm used to roughing it a little. You can give me a computer without a shred of software and I still can get something done. I actually find that far more interesting than trotting along with the rest of of the herd. Any herd, not just Mickeysoft. Mickeysoft really is not an option when the whole point is to get away from Mickysoft. That should be so simple that even the most desperate fanboi can't deny. :-)

Since the end of Sharp Develop I have been looking for a replacement. Visual Studio is out of the question. Not for free and not even if they actually wanted to pay me money to use it. Linux and Mono look far more attractive to me now. Has anyone ported half a ton of existing code to Mono? Was it easy or problematic? If this does not work out, then I will have little choice but to throw everything away and go home to C++. Better a bitter end than bitterness without an end.

I've used MonoDevelop with no issues. I don't typically need to port because i don't use winforms. a winforms app will require a UI rewrite
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Have you looked at vscode? It's not bad. Got a good collection of add-ons etc. Cross platform. It's not a full blown IDE but enough of what's really needed is there. edit: I have briefly played with mono, it's not bad but some frustrating bugs and things still missing/kludgy/wysiwy-maybe-sometimes-sortof-g. [even though years old] feels like a beta package that needs a lot of work that probably won't happen for a very long time if ever. (yes vscode also misses a lot compared to vs, but it never promised to be a full IDE.) (and a few weeks back it got a new icon!)

Started working with VS Code just this week. Have been using VS2015 Community, which I like for .Net development. But right now I'm doing my first "real" php development and was missing interactive debugging (or even decent colour highlighting in php). Found VSCode does the highlighting "out of the box", and that installing XDebug was very straightforward (though I don't really understand php configuration) and now I have interactive debugging! :) Had tinkered with a trial copy of PHPStorm and found it very very slow, and flaky; IDE would crash unpredictably. So pleased to find an easy-to-use free IDE for php... off-topic I know for CodeWraith's query but hey, we'd drifted onto VSCode...
