Perfect IDE for writting simple and complex codes

It helps us to build simple and complex codes without any problems and freely.

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. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.

Wing Python IDE: A Much Intelligent IDE than Existing Solutions

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.

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.

Python IDE

PROS

It displays errors in a very efficient manner with an autocomplete feature which saves a lot of developer's time and effort. the company is focused to keep this app updated with new features and handling any old issues.

CONS

I didn't face so much problems using this ide exept the dark theme. and it's very expensive to renew the subscribtion after the end of the first trial.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review. There are multiple dark themes available on the first preferences page, so perhaps one of the others would solve whatever problem you ran into.

Wing Python IDE

I like WingPython IDE due to its powerful error debugger and easy navigation through code.

PROS

Wing Python IDE is a lightweight, easy to use development software hosting powerful code editor, along with code testing capability and built-in error debugging. Its customized keystrokes shortcuts along with with its highly flexible macros further increases its accessibility.

CONS

Thoghu Wing Python IDE is a powerful developer yet it offers a very minimal support to languages that aren't python based which makes prevents it from wide use.

Reasons for switching to Wing Python IDE

Because it Wing Python IDE is lightweight and works competitively fast on usual laptops.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review! It is true that Wing specializes on Python and thus is often used together with other tools by developers that also work with non-Python languages.

Great all-around Python IDE and debugger

I've been using Wing IDE as my main development environment for 10 years now. I'm a big fan of Wing. I've used it for my open-source projects, my client projects when I was working as a freelancer, and now I use it at my work in a corporate environment. I do Python programming almost exclusively, so its Python-centric approach is a good fit for me. The debugger is first-class. It works on multi-process, multi-thread programs. You have your breakpoints, watches, step commands and everything you can expect from a modern debugger. Remote debugging is supported, which is especially crucial in a corporate environment, where you're debugging code that runs on different machines. They've recently added advanced features like recursive debugging, which helped me do some deep troubleshooting at my job. The editor is great. It's got VI and eMacs mode and it's extensible with scripts. It has lots of useful tools (like showing documentation, refactoring, diffing, Python shell, etc.) which I spread across 2 big monitors. The support staff is great. I've made many suggestions and requests for improvement to them over the years and they've implemented many of them. Bugs are fixed quickly. Overall, I highly recommend Wing IDE!

PROS

- First-class debugger - Great, extensible editor - Cross-compatible with Windows / Linux / Mac - Responsive email support - Extensive set of tools

CONS

- I can't get it to fill out my taxes :)
