alternative to visual studio 2010

Question

Is there any alternative to visual studio 2010 for develop with .net 4.0?

thanks

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You can use SharpDevelop to develop .NET projects, including .NET version 4.0. SharpDevelop 4.0 final has been released 06/2011. (though the support for 4.0 is still in beta status AFAIK.)
