The author mentions that C# has a nice IDE (Visual Studio). I'd like to mention that a couple of OSS & Python enthusiasts at msft have produced one for Python as well (free/apache 2.0). It supports both CPython and IronPython, along with intellisense, debugging, profiling, etc. : http://pytools.codeplex.com http://pytools.codeplex.com
