What OS(s) are you using ?
What kind of programs do you write ?
I think it's impossible to make an IDE, that is good enough (without 
being a monster) to serve all purposes.

So my background:
- I work 100% windows
- my customers all have windows
- all of my programs have a large and important GUI (otherwise I 
wouldn't be in this group)

And this is what I use
- for normal programs I use PyScripter, quit good and complete but less 
suited for GUI design and testing.
 From what I've read here and in other groups, DABO should be the way to 
go, but I couldn't get it working :-(
- for scientific work, signal analysis, I use Signal WorkBench
- for large and extended GUIs, I still use Delphi, and simply embed 
Python ;-)


cheers,
