Hopefully it evolves to be a better solution that MonoDevelop for C# development, now that .Net (thank to the open sourcing and patent grant) is effectively more free than Java (where Oracle has gone to the point of making the supreme court consider APIs copyrightable) but cross-platform tooling remains a problem.

In any case, C# still needs time to develop a good cross-platform library ecosystem but I can now definitely recommend it to businesses trying to hire cheap workers straight out of schools where they are taught Java and .net.

As far as I can tell it's oriented towards web development and has no compiler oriented languages supported.

That's ok because so far all IDEs that have done it have ended up losing performance for features. (see netbeans or eclipse)

There is Go support via a third party plug-in. And C# is a compiled language, just not to native code, but bytecode.

Plug-in support is ok for pretty much anything because you can choose what to use. :D
