I think it'd be great to have more people use Spyder! The following are just some of my comments for discussion.
1) I think in conferences you see a lot of ipython notebook, because that is what the ipynb is designed for - showcasing code together with some illustrations and results. Spyder is an IDE, and it serves a different purpose. 2) I also think the fact that Anaconda by default uses Spyder is a big thing. On Wednesday, December 10, 2014 1:56:14 PM UTC-5, Gonzalo A.
