I should note that IronPython Studio 1.0 is basically Visual Studio SDK sample 
whose goal was to demonstrate language integration in Visual Studio. As such 
it's obvious why its development experience is far from perfect.
We are currently working on making IronPython Studio a real product.

Subject: [IronPython] Do you use IronPython Studio?

Hello,

I tried IronPython Studio and found fundamental flaws that make programming 
with it far from enjoyable. Amongst the annoyances are the lack of automatic 
indentation and the fact that the IntelliSense fails to propose a list of 
properties for a given control. More severely, I noticed that the IDE wipes out 
all the code already written by the developer, if you double click on a 
particular event within the Properties window for a control. Also, if you 
double click on a particular event in the same window, and then remove the code 
for handling the event, in Designer mode you will no longer see the UI you had 
laid out, but just a basic form.

My question to the IronPython community is, what do you use? Do you all use 
IronPython Studio for designing the UI and then hack away the business logic 
with your favorite editor? If so, I think that the current shortcomings of the 
IDE may negatively affect the adoption of IronPython itself. I enjoy Python 
programming much more than I enjoy C# programming, but after an hour long 
session with IronPython Studio I was longing for the comfort of using the C# 
IDE.

Thanks in advance,
Antonio
