Just an FYI, Monogame is the Framework, you still use VC#, and both Monogame and XNA 4 can be installed and developed with VS 2012.

You're right, my bad - I didn't make myself clear:
 

Will check out mono/monogame today and stick to it,

What I meant was using Monogame along with mono and monodevelop - thought that was worth a try.

But you got me interested in this whole VS2012 thing, I heard you can use XNA 4.0 with VS2012, but so far I've seen people recommending sticking to VS2010. What is your opinion? I know I can (go with VS2012) but the question is: should I?

Both of you got me convinced I should dump VC# and go Mono, I guess I'll have a look, maybe this is the thing for me. I heard about it before, but it seemed focused on developing to consoles/mobile devices, while I wanted to dev to PC. Still I'll check it out, I'm probably wrong. Will check out mono/monogame today and stick to it, maybe this will make a difference.

Any online reference, documentation, books are welcome. I promise to check out those you posted so far.
 

Thank you mollekake, Inuyashakagome16!
