Looks good and professional, but for some reasons, I don't like it. The bloated "blender" part for example. But at the other side, it has included wxGlade, the new Python debugger winpdb and a lot of nice editor functions. >Jedit. Java editor. Really my swiss-army knife of development.

Bloated, slow in startup and in response of userinputs and not developed in Python itself. ;) >Komodo - untried, but the screenies look decent.

Good editor functions (browse code for example). Debugger, many plugins (bycicle repair man for instance). I don't like the three parts components (how shall i say this).

And it is easy to accomodate the editor to your needs (customize shortcuts, write little "DrPython scripts", make your own plugins. >Idle (surprise!)
