This looks great. I always enjoyed Visual Studio but Monodevelop/Xamarin Studio always feels a bit rickety to me. The key for me is refactoring and code intelligence which is briefly mentioned on the homepage, but can you shed any light on your plans in this area?

Also, a minor thing - what's the typeface in the "PROPORTIONAL FONTS" screenshot?

We're building on/and hoping to contribute to the community Code Fixes/Code Actions being built for Roslyn as far as refactoring goes in C#. We have some plans of providing a similar interface for other CodeEngines to implement diagnostics/fixes.

The font is Input Sans [0]. Great font. We wanted to try and package it with Scrawl but we never heard back from the author. Its free though, go try it out!

Thanks! It would be fantastic if individual refactorings could be packaged up and shared via github or some kind of package manager...
Thats pretty much the plan, we have some fun ideas here but I need to prove out the UX before I can share much more
