I'm running it in prod since last year and from the runtime perspective there are no issues.

Tooling is what sucks. MonoDevelop F# support is very unreliable. Basic refactoring, like rename, don't work correctly every time and I had to literally do git reset few times, after renaming, as it screw up multiple files.

Also, editor often has visual glitches where letters get corrupted and I have to reopen the file to get it back to normal. Not something I expect from such a long time maintained application. However, it looks like Xamarin Studio 6.0 will be much better.

Alternative is Visual Studio Code with Ionide plugin, but I didn't use that beyond trying it once. Hopefully someone else can comment.

Xamarin Studio and MonoDevelop are the same, what your probably seeing are the artefacts or using an old version of MonoDevelop

I'm using the latest stable release of MonoDevelop (5.10)

The latest if you pull from github is 6.1 (I think), using apt-get does not install the latest monodevelop.

Release notes [1] say: This is a preview of the upcoming Xamarin Studio 6.1 release.

Is it already released?

Yes, its already out. I had couple of hiccups while installing but was able to install it from Github.
