Best IDE?

Re: Best IDE?

IDE : SPE (Stani's python editor) : http://stani.be/python/spe/blog/
Why?: because this IDE is not complicated. it ships with a debugger, a
gui designer, a source code checker and a regex console.
Like: obviously everything
Hate: sometimes it doesn't start on windows 2000
Platform: Windows, Linux, Mac
cost: free but I'll donate some money because I like it

I use GNU Emacs 22 and a screen session.

Advantages:

* Comprehensive, comprehensive, comprehensive.. .tags support,
Subversion integration, syntax highlighting, sophisticated
indentation, whatever I want basically
* Resource-light, contrary to the preconceived opinions some have of Emacs
* Keyboard-oriented; ergonomic and fast (Xfce is set up to switch
desktops by key as well)
* Available on any major platform that you would want to use Python on
* And it's free

Disadvantages:

* No UI builder...for this you can use Glade or maybe Boa Constructor
* Not many else...none other that I can think of right now, actually

jed along with bash et. al.

Because it's efficient and it's what I use for all other
languages.

If there was something I hated about it, I wouldn't use it.

What platform(s) is it avalable on?

Unix/Linux and Win32.

Maybe you could also check out UliPad to try it. Many features UliPad
also have, and it also shipped with

* directory browser
* multi-view
* multi-language highlight support, like: python, javascript, css, html, etc
* simple project support bind with directory browser
* commands searching
* live regular expression searching, type regex, and you'll see the
result immediately
* session manager
* i18n
* input assistant, support call tips, '.' hint, and auto-complete, for
example: you type

def then it'll expand to def ():
* many plugins, for example spell check, if you install pyenchant module
* others things

hope you try it.

Strange enough, this is kind of a *very* frequently asked question...

Kdevelop 3

Why?

It has good project management, good highlighting and since it is a kde app it
supports ioslaves (means I can work with a resource from any location
trasnparently like opening up files via sftp)

What do you like and hate about it?

I can't think of anything that I hate about it. It has worked fine for me for
a long time. It starts quickly, doesn't use much memory, the search features
work well etc. It does pretty much all the things I need and care about.

What platform(s) is it avalable on?

Anything that will run KDE so pretty much all the unixes.

How much does it cost?

Nothing

etc.

Jed I must admit is nice. Especially since they added UTF-8 support.

I invested a lot of time in Emacs and Vim before that...I still use
Vim over SSH (and its Ruby support is the best of the two IMO)

Re: Best IDE?

hey thanks limodou,

I'm trying it out right now and it works pretty well!

SPE has been crashing often lately so count on me to use it frequently.

Windows, Unix/Linux, Mac, Amiga, others

How much does it cost?

Free, and the source is open too.

Why?
What do you like and hate about it?

Like:

Built-in python interpreter so you can do any editor customizations in
Python
Good multilanguage support (Python, but also C, C++, Java, HTML, XML,
SQL, and dozens of others)
FAST
Good code navigation via smart tags
Does intelligent completion of module members, methods, etc
Python syntax checking on the fly (e.g. typing "if a=1:" and hitting
enter flags the error immediately)
Class browsing support (whatever I'm editing, there's a class menu to
either pop up to the parent(s), down to children, or jump around
various methods within the class)
Automatically show function/method docstrings/leading comments (and
documentation for standard functions), synopsis in the status bar or
full text in a popup window if you hit F1
Configurable project support so for large projects it is smart about
which parts of the source tree might be relevant to what I'm working on
right now
Runs in text-mode or GUI, so I can use the same editor making quick
edits over ssh that I use in my on-desktop development

Hate:
Required a lot of customization to get all of the above
