I know it's supposedly shameful, but I really like Eclipse as a Python IDE. I am pretty good with vim but still prefer Eclipse when I'm navigating huge projects across dozens of separate projects and submodules. I know about ctrl-p and NERDTree but ctrl-shift-r in eclipse is just better for me. I also find the pydev debugger to be awesome. I launch it from unit tests to find all my problems.
- larrik 7y agoEclipse is definitely powerful, so once you know it and you aren't bothered by the long startup times, there's no shame in using it.
- farresito 7y agoNothing wrong with that. I have been using vim for close to 10 years and will take intelliJ + ideaVim over vim if the language is well supported. It's night and day difference.
- zwieback 7y agoEclipse is a solid choice, especially if you have more than one reason to use it. I used it simultaneously for Java, some embedded systems development and Python so the learning curve paid off.
- LessDmesg 7y agoI never could get Eclipse to work. To me, it was always a memory and CPU hog spending way too much time doing the simplest things. I do install it once in several years to find out if they fixed performance yet, but to no avail.
- acidburnNSA 7y agoSounds like a pain. I never had problems like this even on underpowered dev machines.
