I think they are very powerful editors but they are also difficult to learn. Emacs is too hard for me I believe. I prefer Eclipse with Pydev because it is very integrated: editor, debugger, static code analyzer, Mercurial commands in the contextual menu, access to tickets from the editor, code coverage reports and more. I documented the integration I did with Eclipse: http://pierrethibault.posterous.com/?tag=web2py&page=2 These questions lead to very personal response. -- A+ ------------- Pierre My blog and profile (http://pierrethibault.posterous.com)<http://pierrethibault.posterous.com> YouTube page (http://www.youtube.com/user/tubetib)<http://www.youtube.com/user/tubetib> Twitter (http://twitter.com/pierreth2) <http://twitter.com/pierreth2>
