Current state of 2D game code-first frameworks?
XNA re-implementation/extended support seems like a good idea. I'll look into it some more. I also want to share this list of libraries suggested to me for MonoGame support: https://github.com/aloisdeniel/awesome-monogame

How easy is Monogame for a beginner coming from game engines?
I don't have anything to add to Ignatus other than a GitHub repo filled with resources that can help you out.

Tutorials for Monogame?
Awesome Monogame has a nice list of tutorials

I spent month implementing a camera, simple ECS, Tiled map integration and rendering - just to find out all of this and more is in the Monogame.Extended
If you want to avoid duplicating work in the future (and also find some awesome libs), checkout Awesome Monogame: https://github.com/aloisdeniel/awesome-monogame.

Game engine for a 2D, top down, rogue like, pixel art game?
Fair warning, base Monogame leaves a lot to you to create yourself. It's technically a framework and not an engine (difference explained here). However, there are several extensions that add specific things you might want.

Tired of current language but scared to switch (sunken cost fallacy evaluation)
And as for replacing libraries, I obviously don't know what you've got going on, but there are a bunch of extensions to Monogame that add all sorts of stuff. Maybe there's something in the you can use to help you?

How easy is Monogame for a beginner coming from game engines?
MonoGame abstracts a lot of the rendering work and is easy to use for 2D games (I haven't tested its 3D support so far). It also provides you with a content pipeline plus audio and input handlers. All that's left for you to do is roll your own Entity Component System, physics, and game logic. If you're not interested in writing your own physics, there are libraries out there already. Additionally, if you don't want to get caught up in the details of data serialization, Json.NET is a great package for serializing data in JSON format. That makes it perfect when paired with a map editor such as Tiled, which can export to JSON.

Are things like colliders already built-in or should I program “everything” in Monogame?
Back in my indie days, I shipped a few 2D games with the Farseer physics engine on XNA to Xbox 360 and Windows phone. It's not dead either, the project lives on as Velcro Physics.
