> Yeah, especially since you need to pay a regular fee to use Xamarin

You can use Monodevelop[1] which is 100% FOSS. AFAIK Xamarin is just Monodevelop with some extra wrappers and custom libraries for cross-platform mobile-development. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

If you're just making normal applications, libraries or web-solutions you don't need Xamarin.
