The greatest thing about Wing is that you can use it to do remote debugging with Maya. You can set breakpoints in the python scripts that are executing from within Maya, trap them and step through code line-by-line from Wing as it executes in Maya. I've tried some other remote debuggers, including Komodo and Eclipse, and I haven't been able to get any of the others running with Maya. It's awesome and well worth the money.
