Have you ever used .NET on its own platform?

Mono only supports a subset of the whole stack.

No sane .NET developer would use Mono on Windows, its purpose is .NET portability to other OSes.

Xamarin studio can be run against .net on windows, it's not mono specific.

Yes, but what is the value of doing that instead of using Visual Studio?!
