:-) Okay-okay, looks like some people really like it. I had tried it,
but was disappointed and continued using the command line version. I
must admit that I first hadn't figured out that I could have multiple
edit windows outside the development environment, that was the biggest
drawback. Am I right that this is still the case in the Windows version?
I also have all my code formatted with the tab being 4 characters, not 8
as usual, but the Unix IDLDE has no option for that, unlike the Windows
version. And there were some other inconveniences, like way too huge and
ugly dialogs cluttering my desktop, so I never migrated. There are some
nice features like the variable watch, but yes, David, I'm just fine
with print statements for debugging. Am I too old-fashioned here?
