Another cool editor is Scribes ( http://scribes.sourceforge.net/ ), at least last time I tried it. Might take some configuring, but it might be worth it :) On Sun, Feb 10, 2008 at 10:12:02PM +0530, Ramdas S wrote: > I know its no replacement, but try scite editor. Its cool and is used by > many

I am a long time windows user, and have just switched to ubuntu gutsy for the very reason of python and django development. Although the learning curve was very steep - and i have had many hardware issues - i am now much happier developing on ubuntu (I have dual boot set up, but 95% of what i do

Hi, I 'm a long time linux user. I just wanted to say that you should code in whatever environment you are more productive. Don't switch just because everybody does. Do it if you feel more comfortable with. Sometimes windows, sometimes osx, sometime linux... it's just up to you. I just don't see

Hi Aleandro, in my opinion your doubts about Windows as a solid platform for web development are basically groundless. Probably you are intimidated by the large number of MacBook Pro you see at geek conferences ;) Don't worry: appearances are often deceptive. I'm a practical guy and I can assure

I find SonomaSunshine runs nearly the same on Vista or Ubuntu, once you change the system call code, which probably isn't even a normal issue. I'd think if you were using Photoshop regularly, it would be a no brainer, just work on Windows. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~

Why choose one when you can have both? I'd vote for OS X. Nice UNIX-ness, _really_ nice fonts, superb hardware support and good looking hardware...and with VMWare Fusion / Parallells virtualisation is simple and fast. And Photoshop works really well is OS X :) On Thu, Feb 07, 2008 at 12:49:27AM

Hi, I use to develop on all these platform. I'm somehow surprise that you find font rendering superb in windows, I'm always annoyed at how ugly they look in general compared to their Mac and Linux (new Distro) counterpart. I switch sometime from Linux to OS X for my development needs. I use

I'm doing the vmware situation for my local machine (Mac OS X). I built a vmware image for my dev environment to mirror my production environment (apache / mod_python backend with nginx serving the static content). The only difference between the two machines is that the dev machine is running

Another alternative is a virtual server via vmware running a small barebones/server install of your favorite distro. There are a number of pre-built vmware images online, and vmware player is free now. It worked out really well for me. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You

In fact, running on the development computer the same exact software environment present on the production server is the strongest pro- Linux argument, especially if you have a VPS and not a shared server. To be honest, I think neither with Windows or Mac OS X you can obtain this ideal condition.

Hi, I _would_ have said that installing stuff and setting up the dev. environment was the biggest disadvantage of Windows, but you seem to have that part covered. Other than that, if your production runs Linux, then you will, in theory, have an easier time with deployment, and testing of
