And if you compare Saturn to Jupiter, it's not that big. > Yet (I believe that) a complete > IDE can bring functions that an editor, however powerful, cannot Is there anything _useful_ that it'll bring that a good editor doesn't? e.g. in vim I do get * automatic syntax checking (if I type "if a=1:" and hit enter, it'll immediately highlight the syntax error) * omni-completion (because Intellisense is trademarked) * refactoring (with BicycleRepairMan integration) * folding (which is more important than the above 3 combined, IMO) * online help (typing cmp( gives me the docstring for cmp in the status line, F1 to view the whole thing) As well as all the basics (tags/class browser/good regex support/syntax highlighting/autoindent/source control integration/etc). I'm not trolling here, I'm looking for interesting new features I can steal. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
