Spyder IDE seems pretty cool.  Lots of features.  But it is pretty 
confusing, and I have been using Eclipse, so that is saying something.

Here are my initial problems:

   - It is hard to figure out how to start/create/switch between 
   workspaces, projects, etc. It took me forever to realize there isn't even a 
   menu option to switch workspaces, but instead the open file icon next to 
   the path to the workspace under the text "Project explorer".  How do I 
   create a project from files I already have on the filesystem?  The import 
   doesn't seem to bring any files in.
   - I don't know the keyboard bindings for some things, like completion, 
   and I am not sure where to find them.  I guessed that control-space might 
   do something, but I don't know what other things work.
   - I love that the "Object inspector" will show documentation for 
   objects, but how do I get it to inspect an object other than typing it in? 
    There doesn't seem to be an menu option for that.

Am I missing a good tutorial on how to get started with things?  I guess I 
am almost figuring things out as I write this, but it hasn't been totally 
intuitive.
