MonoDevelop on Lion

I installed OSX-Lion on the Mac at the end of last week and consequently updated all my Mac dev-tools. The latest version of Xcode 4 is far more of an integrated environment than before but unfortunately, the process of UI development for the iPad or iPhone when used in conjunction with MonoDevelop and MonoTouch isn't a clean one.

XCode has changed the way that outlets are connected and have opted for a code modification system that requires an actual Xcode project to be used. MonoDevelop hasn't as yet taken this into account, they are working on it, but this has rendered my ability to develop for the iPad to a very limited state.

I guess I need to concentrate on the C# aspects and wait for MonoDevelop to catch up.
