Yes, but when support for something is announced I like to see how good that support is. Netbeans used to only support Python through a 3rd party plugin, which is now part of Netbeans.

However, my development focus is more on writing security tools and not so much on other development areas. Even my GUI based development has been in Python. I find I can do everything I need in Python and QT. Not to mention the ease of multiple platform support most of the stuff I write has to work on Linux, OSX, and Windows. I am actually writing a Python book so I am obviously spending a lot of time with Python lately. To answer your question about Java, C, and C++. I have never done a lot of Java stuff, but when I did I used Eclipse. For C I used Anjuta and for the .NET stuff I have had to do I obviously used VisualStudio (Not a fan). Now there is some stuff I have done with IronPython where I had to use IronPython Studio on top of Visual Studio and it wasn't that bad. Microsoft Just released pytools Python for Visual Studio http://pytools.codeplex.com/. I honestly haven't tried it yet, but probably will at some point just to get a feel for how it is. -- *Nathan Hamiel* http://hexsec.com <http://hexsec.com>http://twitter.com/nathanhamiel blog: www.neohaxor.org
