Some of you may be familiar with the O'Reilly School of
Technology (OST) and its use of Eclipse as a front end to
accredited courses in the many languages, databases
and so on.
Rather than use the free-standing Eclipse, which is an option,
you get a customized student version called Ellipse that
runs of their servers in a remote desktop session.
This seems a creative approach and gets a next generation
of developer prepared with one of the state of the art environments,
using some of the best industry standard tools (e.g. Python
and MySQL).
I can understand why they did it. They haven't won me over to eclipse
though. I just find the interface too busy for my liking (although that
could just be the way they ahve it setup for the school). If I am doing
a few scripts I use Vim but I recently purchased PyCharm from the
Jetbrains folks. I am really liking it. It is fairly new, but they are
responsive to requests and have some nice features in the IDE (lots of
Django integration, etc.). Anyway, choice is a good thing. :)
