A few things I like about IEx: - Supports tab completion, shortcut keys like ctrl-a/ctrl-e and probably more that I don't ever use. - Top notch support for unicode and supports color (IO.inspect with [color: true]) - EZ access to docs (Just type h in front of what you want to know about) - You can recompile your project without leaving the repl (keeping whatever state you have) - You can access the history of what has been returned using the v function - Remote shell support (type `h IEx`) to learn more. --- One thing I don't like: If you get mixed up and forget how many braces or parenthesis you need to close, you get stuck. I usually have to quit iex to get out. There may be a better solution to this that I'm just not aware of
