Just a few pointers:
- Microsoft bought Xamarin who officially maintains Mono not long time ago.
- dotnet core is not mature yet. Current version is a release candidate 2.
- Microsoft seems to move towards utilizing the benefits of FreeBSD. It 
is available on Azure now, etc.
- SQL Server 2016 has been released to Linux in a preview version.
- /Visual Studio Code has been released to Linux.

/All of the above are really big changes and I think it is too early to 
judge if .NET/Mono development makes any sense on FreeBSD.
