Cool. Now there are at least two of us. 
There is an open source IDE for Mono on Mac called Continuum. I've been testing and patching it to get it into shape, both in general and for Cobra. I'll give another update when I think it's worth trying out.

Well, I am from the vim generation. Just recently I looked at the new features of Xcode 4 and while they seem impressive, I still think to myself "will the editor still format code like an asshole?".
Still, I guess it's about time to start learning these fancy things, so I might give it a try.
PS: Cool, screenshots in tiff format. Maybe I'm not the only one from the past!

I don't think Continuum formats your code at all that I've seen, other than some auto-indentation. Some things I like about Continuum:
-- It feels more like an editor that adds features like breakpoints and autocompletion, instead of a stuffy IDE.
-- As an open source project at 75,000 raw lines of C#, it's highly hackable. If you want something to be different, you can roll up your sleeves and make it happen.
Were you a NeXTstepper?

No NeXTstepper. Spectrum, then DOS/Windows (Basic, Pascal, C, C++, Python), then Linux (C, TCL) and now iPhone (Obj-c).
Since I started with TurboC, when I jumped to Linux I found RHIDE and later Setedit (http://setedit.sourceforge.net/), but it had lots of character display problems with the different terminal emulations and such, so I learnt vim because it was more suited to hacking over a slow dialup link.
Python could be considered my first love, but the thoroughly poor Snow Leopard interpreter implementation forced me to look into Pyrex, Cython and other ways to come around the poor performance. Years ago I disliked C# and while I don't like the language much, the platform seems to be growing interesting stuff with Mono, Boo, and of course, Cobra, among others, which is the reason I'm lurking here.
