I use Visual Studio 2008 every day as well.

Eclipse/PyDev works, sorta, after configuration, maybe.

It is not one of those things that you just load the software up, and it
works. That is one thing I love about Visual Studio, and you miss out with
open source. Just working, no configuration needed.

I'll admit, I was being overdramatic.

But PyDev is no where near as advanced as intelli-sense for .net, not
pydev's fault, just the price of using a dynamic language.

Don't get me wrong, I love PyDev.
