Yeah this is my experience as well,
I understand the appeal, hell I was even the one to frontrun/poc it 6 years ago.
But in the end it's just worse dev experience, no sane Keywords autocomplete/lookup in any IDE out there(by that time).
In the end you end up programming inside english like DSL with weird quirks, that's somewhere connected to python, with different variable syntax, and not really good debugging.
I guess everyone has to pass through that stage at least once, but I will never go back to it.
- fabioz 4y agoWell, nowadays Robot Framework Language Server (which I develop) does have autocomplete/semantic analysis/interactive console/debugger (which can debug Python and Robot Framework at the same time) and a bunch of other things, so, I guess things did improve a bit in the meanwhile...
- cvak 4y agoI suspected LSP would be awesome for it, but nothing existed like 3 years ago - kudos to you sir, I think it would make the experience 10x better.
