Has there ever been a .NET flavored Eclipse?

I've wondered this 开发者_运维百科a bunch of times. The answer that comes to mind is: there's no point since VS is so feature rich, but on the flip side, this the fact that something has already been done hasn't stopped people in the past.

There was a C# plug-in for Eclipse a long time ago, but it wasn't really production quality by a long shot. I haven't seen anything else coming into the Eclipse ecosystem to support .NET.

Emonic is a more recent plugin for C# on Eclipse. It's meant to work with either Mono or MS.NET.

While not a whole C# environment, it's probably worth mentioning the Silverlight tools for Eclipse:
