Con
No longer supported (deprecated since 2018)

Endi Sukaj

Con
Bad formatting

MonoDevelop doesn't offer much in terms of autocompletion and code formatting. Most of the time the automatic formatting that MonoDevelop does is annoying and not really compliant with C# guidelines.

Endi Sukaj

Con
The MonoDevelop version that ships with Unity is several versions behind

The version of MonoDevelop that ships with Unity is several versions behind the main MonoDevelop branch. It also gets updated very rarely so any annoying bugs that it may have take a lot of time to get fixed.
