We are an specialized engineering company that writes desktop applications for engineers to perform process simulation and related data analysis. We have been using WingIDE Professional for the past decade with a small team of developers. We could not be happier with the product and the support! #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The debugger and code navigation tools are some of the best features in WingIDE. It is very easy to trace problems through complicated code. It is easy to jump to areas of code that you need to find. The editor is theme-able and so many of our team work in "dark mode" -- but not everyone. The support is also great -- issues get responded to quickly and fixes pushed within days. #### Cons We do not have any complaints about WingIDE. --- ### I'm a fan of Wingide and I'm happy to admit it. - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Machinery - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have been using Wingide pro for a long time - I believe I started with version 1 or 2 and for the past 10 years have been using it every day for python development at my work supporting a GUI application that allows calibration and diagnostics of a distance measurement system. The current version of the application has been in development for 5 years, uses a range of classic python packages including numpy matplotlib and wxpython and has grown to include a large number of python modules. However, Wingide has been able to handle everything I have been able to through at it with out any problems. I also use Visual Studio of a fairly regular basis fro c++ development and think that Wingide is every bit as good and in someways better than Visual Studio . If you are in the market for a professional level python IDE you really owe it to yourself to, at least, try Wingide. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros Things I really appreciate about wingide (pro): The publisher 's have a civilized pricing and licensing approach. The developers behind the product are very attentive to user feedback - they respond quickly and with clear reasonable answers concerning problems. When I have reported issues I have typically got a decent response on the same day. Unlike the case for some IDEs (I'm looking at you eclipse) creating and managing a project in Wingide is not a pain. Easy to debug into running python projects. The debugging ability in wingide is excellent . The debug console tab is very handy for example - hit a break point change the current context and then continue. Happiness. Easy navigation around a project with things like the go to definition feature or find points of use feature Runs on multiple operating systems - I did not have to learn a new tools when I moved over to developing on Linux. Good documentation. #### Cons Honestly nothing really has upset me about this software - I normally try to use free, opensource products but I am happy to pay for Wingide and have encouraged a number of my colleagues to start using it and they seem happy with the product too. I'm aware that there are now a number of other decent python ides out there (thank you people - it was not so good in 1998 -1999 when I started working with python) but Wingide just works so nicely for me that I have not felt any desire "to play the field" looking at the competition. --- ### Great debugger - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Melvin R. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 12 months - Reviewed: February 2019 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically. No incentive was offered #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 3/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Easy way to step through python code line by line. #### Cons Not as lightweight as the text editors I am used to. #### Vendor response Thanks for submitting this review. If you run into performance problems please email us at support@wingware.com. There are times when Wing will do substantial processing in analysing your code but this should stop after a while and the results are cached. If it's sluggish in general then something is wrong and we can help by collecting a profile and trying to solve the problem. Replied March 2019 --- ### Just about the best & worth every penny (Pro User) - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Oil & Energy - Company size: 10000+ employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I use Wing IDE Pro both at my work and at home - if I wasn't happiest with it of all the IDEs & Editors that I have tried (and I have tried many) then I would have shifted years ago. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros The support is excellent & fast to respond. Debugging provides just about every feature you could hope for including being able to execute exploratory code anywhere in the stack trace in the case of an exception or while at a break-point - you can even remote debug on target hardware. Editor is fast and responsive with good syntax highlighting, error & warning marking and good autocomplete, (but not too in your face like some). Integration with various tool chains, (wx, qt, Vagrant, Jupyter and more) & external tools such as pylint & various version control systems are both very good. Being able to use a single licence on multiple machines is a positive blessing. #### Cons No spell checking of comments, docstrings & strings (it has been mentioned as a possible future feature). No GUI designers, (I use wxPython but designers for the others would be a nice feature as well). It would be nice to have editors for Markdown, ReStructured Text and html all with preview but might be overkill. --- ### highly recommended for professional and amateur - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Software - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I am WingIDE user for many years. I start to use WingIDE Pro since version 4.xx. It's super fast, the auto-complete and debugging are amazing. You can use your license on multi-computers, and it's one-time purchase. WingIDE is very easy to learn (yes, it's true, IDE has learning curve), I still like the feel when writing code on WingIDE, it feels very relaxed. I used all different IDEs, some are free and open source (Eric, Eclipse, Atom) some are commercial (Komodo, WingIDE, PyCharm, IntelliJ). I always feel WingIDE is the most "pythonic" one. It's hard to explain, try it for couple weeks, then you can experience it yourself. Unfortunately I had to switch to JetBrain product on 2018. It's slower (java based) and more expense (yearly subscription mode). However the main reason I have to switch to JetBrain product is not because WingIDE is not good, it's due to the workflow change, I have to work with multi-languages on same project. (mixing of Python, Ruby and Golang) and I did not switch to PyCharm, I switch to IntelliJ. So, it's not really "apple to apple" #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 3/5 #### Pros Very Fast Easy to use Good debugger WingIDE Pro has better price than PyCharm Pro. #### Cons Some feature missing or behind PyCharm Not many plugins available Smaller community than PyCharm --- ### python - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: abdul b. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer & Network Security - Company size: Self-Employed - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: June 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros python is very good language and is very vast iun the future #### Cons very slow idle and no black theme and no suggestions #### Vendor response Are you reviewing Wing Python IDE or Python and IDLE (the default IDE that comes with Python)? Wing does have a dark mode, which you can turn on from the menu icon in top right of the window and configure from the first preferences page. Also, Wing does have auto-completion. If you tried Wing 101 then those are turned off by default because that edition of the IDE is designed for teaching beginning Python programmers and the people we designed it with felt it would often be best to disable it initially. It can be turned on in preferences. If you are using Wing and it's slow please submit a bug report from the Help menu so we can look at why that is the case. Thanks! Replied June 2019 --- ### A Senior Software Developer's Review of Wing - Overall rating: 4/5 - Reviewer: Verified Reviewer - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Computer Games - Company size: 201-500 employees - Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. At this point, Wing is my primary IDE, which I use for everything that is more complicated than vi or textedit. I use it not just for Python, but also data files (XML, JSON...) and even C++ where I don't need a full blown C++ IDE. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros The software has many great features, but they are all modularized in such a way as not impede those that don't need them. This leads to a very fast learning curve as I don't need to learn about things that I don't need on the way to things I do need. A particular feature that should get a shout out is the remote development tools. We do a lot of development on AWS and colo hosts and being able to edit directly from my laptop to those hosts is a huge time saver. #### Cons Wing has had some, though not a lot, of stability problems. Wing support has been very helpful in finding and fixing these as they occur. --- ### uso do ide - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Reginaldo F. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Utilities - Company size: 1001-5000 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: October 2020 - Review source details: This review was submitted organically.

No incentive was offered Durante i miei studi universitari mi è capitato di utilizzare Wing Phyton IDE per un mio progetto e, alla fin dei conti, la mia esperienza è stata positiva.Essendo esperiente in materia, ho visto l'enorme potenzialità che questo prodotto ha da offrire ma riconosco che per i meno esperti possa risultare caotico. Risulta un piacere programmare in quanto il debugger è sempre preciso e ti aiuta molto a capire dove stai sbagliando. Inoltre con l'autocompletamento puoi anche risparmiare tempo nel scrivere codice. Promosso. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Functionality: 4/5 #### Pros Interfaccia utente semplice e intuitiva che rende semplice la navigazione tra i file e le funzionalità dell'IDE. Strumento di debug abbastanza potente e molto preciso per individuare errori nel codice. #### Cons Sul mio computer risulta molto pesante. Per i meno esperti può risultare confusionario all'inizio. #### Vendor response Thanks for the review! Wing shouldn't feel heavy (as in sluggish) although it may initially consume a fair amount of CPU until it has finished finding and analysing Python code in your project and on the Python Path. If that persists, please contact us at support@wingware.com and we can provide instructions for diagnosing what is causing it. Also, for the less experienced we recommend going through either the Guide Start Guide or Tutorial to get an idea of the feature set. A lot of it can be ignored until needed, but it's good to get an intro to the basics and also know what is there. Thanks again!

No incentive was offered It helps us to build simple and complex codes without any problems and freely. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I prefer Wing Python over many others because it supports both simple and complex codes in nature. It's a target-driven IDE which means "it's goal-oriented and performs only specific tasks".I don't trust multi or can-do-all-by-themselves coding software as they are never perfect in anything.Wing Python IDE enables us to write Python minified codes without hassles. It's code-centric and serves its purpose perfectly.We do not really use it for debugging, however, we use it to conduct simple verification across our projects and sometimes for testing (where necessary).It automatically indents my lines of code and shows proof of its smart and collaborative nature and it's also beginner friendly. #### Cons To my knowledge, There is no feature that needs improvement for now. #### Reasons for switching to Wing Python IDE Not flexible, I have to always switch between tabs and either the theme is too light or dark. I don't even enjoy the overall coding experience. #### Vendor response Thanks for taking the time to review Wing Pro! It's good to hear you are finding it helpful.

Great experience that makes developing in Python with its plethora of libraries very rapid and integrated. I would definitely prefer it over PyCharm in many different development domains even in the field on socket and client/server programming. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 4/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have switched to Wing Python IDE after using PyCharm for several years. It seems that this IDE is so well designed to make the development much easier with code autocompletion and a very elegant debugger. Python has a lot of libraries in many different domains. I used it for developing home automation software, scientific computing, AI and ML model development and training, in addition to designing client/server solution. What makes Wing great is that once you import the needed libraries, code auto completion becomes so graceful and make the development very efficient and rapid. It is very fancy in terms of hierarchically presenting the code layers which makes debugging and even team work much more productive. One of the best IDEs for Python with a trial version and a cost effective pro version. #### Cons Definitely would have been happier to have a free version for the pro features. But this is totally justified considering the amazing code development features available in Wing. Some crashes and hangs are experienced from time to time but not a big deal considering the intelligent code editor, debugger, and unit testing features #### Reasons for switching to Wing Python IDE Intelligent editor with better code completion. Faster debugging and unit testing. #### Vendor response Thanks very much for this review! Please don't hesitate to contact us at support@wingware.com, or by submitting a bug report from Wing's Help menu, if you run into problems like hanging. We might be able to solve those for you. Also thanks for your purchase of Wing Pro! Without those sales, Wing would not exist at all. Replied August 2023 --- ### My Python IDE of choice after trying several - Overall rating: 5/5 - Reviewer: Jeff V. - Verified reviewer: Yes - Industry: Airlines/ Aviation - Company size: 2-10 employees - Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years - Reviewed: January 2019 - Review source details: This reviewer was invited by the software vendor to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you. I have been using Wing IDE for over 9 year and it has never failed to allow me to allow me detect and correct any problem with the code. The ability to auto-setup projects, environments, attach to Anaconda environments, notebooks etc is first rate. As for support there is none better in the software world that I have experienced. Literally minutes after I post a problem (during normal working hours - it might take a couple hours otherwise) there is a response with a suggestion, solution or acknowledgement of an issue. It is really unbelievable support. #### Ratings breakdown - Ease of use: 4/5 - Value for money: 5/5 - Customer support: 5/5 - Functionality: 5/5 #### Pros I have the professional version which provides the Debug Probe tool. This tool is excellent as it allows you to inspect and change variable values, execute code etc at the stack level that you are at or move to. This is far more sophisticated that most other IDE's ability to change a variable value. The ability to "attach" the debugger to executing Python code that was started outside the debugger is another great feature when you are trying to see the code execute in its actual environment. #### Cons Until recently I did not like the fact that is did not alert the user to unknown variables, as the tool has excellent auto-completion. Wing 7 in now in pre-release and I am using it does this and several other things. This feature is very useful. Based on your code type an looping the debugger can cause a slow down. I'm not sure this is a problem isolated to Wing as I have seen the same thing when using PyCharm. #### Vendor response Thanks for submitting this review. Python debuggers in general add overhead proportional to the number of byte codes executed, and with nested loops that can be a large number. There are some tricks to avoid this but depending on the debugger and the code and what breakpoints are present things can slow down in a seemingly disproportional manner. This occurs because most Python code actually does most of the CPU intensive work in C code in the Python internals, standard library, or other extension modules (or by Cython). So the number of byte codes executed is far lower. That said, I think there is more we can do to address this in Wing and we'll try to do that.
