This is a draft to renaming names to DotDevelop. Also in future that MonoDevelop and new DotDevelop can be installed on the same system.

Maybe ... if you change in
AddinInfo.cs
the Category to
Category = "DotDevelop ..."
then the 3rdParty addins for MonoDevelop (aka Visual Studio Mac) won't work any more.

I've no glue if they work now ...

@lytico Thanks for the info. Maybe we should not rename everything yet to the new name and only the user interface. What do you mean? Which 3rdParty addins for MonoDevelop do you mean? And which can run on Linux, because I have no Mac to test.

Also note:
mono main/build/bin/DotDevelop.exe to launch the IDE instead of mono main/build/bin/MonoDevelop.exe

there are some out in the wilderness ... see my comment above #128 (comment)

as said, i've no glue if they are working with the current interface provided by dotdevelop ... and if they run on linux ...

but i remember darkly that i had problems getting any addins to work, and commented out a lot of code checking compatibility

@lytico I have looked at this package and I would say that this is a windows only package and can't be run on linux. Also github actions provides only a windows version. https://github.com/mhutch/MonoDevelop.MSBuildEditor/actions
When trying to open it with Extension Manager in Dotdevelop on Linux it does nothing at the moment.
