Redefining the Impossible

Wing IDE 2.1 beta


WingIde 2.1 beta is out and... it has vi keystrokes! python ide, vi keystrokes, it just doesn't get any better.

Since I have been using Wing IDE I have not looked back. Annoyances:

  • Even on a >1Ghz processor it feels sluggish
  • It has an indentation analysis thing that examines the indentation in a file. You copy some dubiously indented code from somewhere and paste it into your beautifully crafted code and it decides to reindent your code with tabstop of 8 or something daft.
  • ugly gtk user interface
  • when editing anything other than python the tab key does nothing and I have to press ctrl-shift-dot to indent. Still, with vi keystrokes >> seems to work.

But for python development, even django and turbogears I wouldn't be without it.
