Going from Lisp to Python, the one place I see it might be amazing is in the REPL. But it is way too much in your face as it currently is, and needs a lot of work. Maybe it's suggestions should be off to the side or something. Somehow it has to be made less annoying.
It drives me nuts in the editor because it helps just a little, but then needs just as keen an eye to spot it's wonkiness as you normally need to see your own coding wonkiness. I tried it a few times but I just keep abandoning it until I remember next time.
Then, it is way too easy to get stuck in these annoying loops where it keeps telling you the same suggestions repeatedly. It'll happily suggest the same 3 lines 20 times in succession, and treat that as normal code. I don't know what triggers it, but I have managed to see it far too often in this intro period.
I think the concept on the right track, destined to be brilliant. But is too much like a hired hand that sometimes says smart things, and otherwise constantly needs attention and correction. It can be really jolting to the flow.
I'm currently not a fan. I'm probably outnumbered by fans, though. I haven't used it for weeks as it is, so I doubt I'm going to pay for it's current incarnation.
