 Of course all this also comes built-in with the Ipython environment, but I
 never really got hooked on to that.

Do you have any reasons why? It's praised a lot in some circles but I
got a lot of negative comments about it on the #python channel.

Well, for me, there aren't any strong negative reasons really. I just felt that the interface was a bit 'clunky' (the extraneous use of spaces and newlines makes me nervous), the commands/shortcuts were non-intuitive to me and I just don't like reading docs before trying out something -- which I think is required for using ipython.

However, i still do recommend it to people who want colors, completion and all sorts of customization abilities from their prompt.

cheers,
