Wing vs Netbeans IDE?
Dear Colleagues, I have been using NetBeans for a month or so now and am reasonably happy with it. I'm considering other options, and ran across Wing. I'm interested in opinions about NetBeans and Wing as IDE for Python. Thanks, Larry -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Wing vs Netbeans IDE?
I've tried Wing but not NetBeans. I would personally recommend Eclipse with the PyDev plugin. I prefer it to Wing by *far* and if you prefer Eclipse to NetBeans for Java then it might be worth your while checking it out. If you take a few minutes to learn a few of the shortcuts in Eclipse you can really cut down the time to do a lot of administrative/organisational tasks. On Windows I remember Eclipse + Pydev being a bit of a memory hog but on OS X and Linux it works smoothly.

RE: Wing vs Netbeans IDE?
I'd love to see an updated shootout between these three, as I cannot for the life of me seem to be able to settle down with one of them. Things I don't like: Wing's lack of integrated mercurial/svn support. The clunkiness and scattered plugin approach of Eclipse (the latter is relavent when starting work on new machines all the time). Netbeans project browser doesn't show class or functions inside the files. Netbeans autocompletion doesn't seem immediately impressive. But... Wing has mentioned future support of svn,git,bazaar,mercurial,etc in the future. QT designer is integrated with Eclipse. So is Photran, which is convenient for some of science types. It seems that there are reasons to be optimistic about the future of netbeans. It seems to be well put together so far, but the least mature. I know that this comes up time and again, but I think a feature-specific debate over these might be worth revisiting for a lot of newcomers.

I just purchased a Wing license this past week. So far I'm very happy with it, though I can't speak to a comparison with other IDEs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
