Android. The line between open source and commercial is never clearer. MonoDevelop is of course for Mono, and Xamarin Studio is for Xamarin. Quote from their webpage -- "Xamarin Studio is a bundle of MonoDevelop along with Xamarin iOS/Android plugins and branding".
Visual Studio for Mac will replace MonoDevelop-Unity as the default C# IDE for using Unity on macOS, while Windows installations will continue to feature the free Visual Studio 2017 Community edition and will no longer include MonoDevelop-Unity as an alternative.
Monodevelop is less stable as compared to Visual studio. It is good when dealing with small projects. Visual Studio is more stable and has the ability to deal with all types of projects whether small or large. Monodevelop is a lightweight IDE, i.e. it can also run on any system even with fewer configurations.
Xamarin is primarily a platform for developing mobile applications (Android and iPhone) using C#.
The Mono project is an open-source port of the .NET framework. It is most commonly used to run .NET under Linux. From a performance standpoint, it runs about 50% (on average) as fast as the .NET framework.
MonoDevelop is an open-source C# IDE analagous to Eclipse or Visual Studio.
Miguel de Icaza was the primary developer for Mono and is one of the founders/owners of Xamarin.
