Perfect IDE for writting simple and complex codes
It helps us to build simple and complex codes without any problems and freely.
PROSI 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.
CONSTo 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.
PROSI 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.
CONSDefinitely 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.

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 :)

It's something worth with
I work with wingide (pro) since 5 years. I did try to change it with some other ide totally free... but no one gives to me same level of productivity.
PROSDebugger. I work with zope/plone enviroments and the ability do place simple brackpoints directly on a code line without import any pdb and without restart the process is, IMHO, what's worth of it. It is written in python so is really efficient in running python code against other editors written in java o c#
CONSEditor is a little bit old. Others IDE add graphic facilities that make them really cool. WingIDE lack of coolness but. Some recent meta languages haven't their syntaxt hilight (for eample. react jsx)
Vendor Response
Thanks for posting this review! Wing 7 add some things that might help with the coolness factor, including callouts for better indicating results in search, find uses, etc and ability to press Shift-Space to overall all the values of symbols in the editor. If you have other specific things you'ld like to see, please let us know. You're right there's no jsx support yet. I found mapping that to Javascript in the Files > File Types > Extra File Types preference is better than nothing, though.

My Indispensable Tool for Python Development (every day)
Using Wing IDE has increased my productivity. The debugger especially has reduced time spent fixing bugs. Writing Python code has become more FUN.
PROSFrom the beginning I found the product had wonderful usability. Wing has tons of features and it takes time to learn to take advantage of them. From day 1, I found my development more comfortable. I developed a large web application based on python CGI scripts. I found certain features, like the remote debugging, to be a thrill. After using Wing for a very short time, I upgraded to the Pro version, which I have now been using almost a decade. The support from Wingware is outstanding. They really care about what the users are experiencing and they address problems promptly. Their IDE product is about two decades old. That takes a lot of commitment. The program is always scurrying around providing valuable information. Right clicking or hovering provides fast access to valuable features.
CONSThat's a tough one. I am at a loss to think of anything, honestly.

Customer support is ridiculously responsive and on target, with responses immediately disseminated to all users.

Best Python IDE
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!
PROSThe 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.

Why Wing
I have used Wing for many years. When I started programming in python I needed something better than the editor provided by python. I wanted an IDE that provided an integrated debugger, warned me when I had syntax errors, corrected my spacing and was cross platform (windows and Linux was required). Wing was the only IDE that I thought met those needs and was available at the time. That tells you how I got started with Wing but it does not tell you why I continue to use Wing after all these years. Today there are lots of python editors that could meet my needs - my needs haven't changed much. And yes, I have used many of them. But I have always returned to Wing. I have used PyCharm, Atom, Sublime, Eric, SPE, and Vim to name a few. They all have their strengths and their weak points. In fact I enjoyed using Atom a lot. But I still returned to Wing. I think the real reason wasn't because I was used to Wing (you know it's hard to teach an old dog new tricks) but because of the flexibility of Wing to meet the ever changing Python landscape. I started out using wxPython then Django and soon after Flask. Wing was right there for me allowing special setups providing an easy way to integrate those technologies into my everyday programming requirements. When I reported a bug it was dealt with almost within a day. Yes that right - one day. The only other editor that responsive has been Atom - but they took at much as a week to fix items.
PROSWing debugging has always but one of it's best features. I have never found a better one. PyCharm's debugger was good too and it did a little more but then again in the end I didn't need the extra info PyCharm provided.
CONSNegatives are not really there - all the python editors have some issue but I found Wing to meet my needs even if I find a bug every once an while. I have the same to be true with all the other editors.

I'm a fan of Wingide and I'm happy to admit it.
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.
PROSThings 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.
CONSHonestly 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.

My Python IDE of choice after trying several
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.
PROSI 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.
CONSUntil 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.

Just about the best & worth every penny (Pro User)
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSNo 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
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"
PROSVery Fast Easy to use Good debugger WingIDE Pro has better price than PyCharm Pro.

A solid product that will strengthen your efforts
several years with wing-101 and now wing-pro.
PROSI just wanted to say I’m thrilled and dazzled by your Wing Pro IDE which I recently purchased. It has really helped in debugging our systems by helping us make our test analysis scripts more robust and easy to modify. I am a relative newbie at python and have barely scratched the surface of your tool, but it has a very satisfying “heft” and has handled analyzing giant trace files with nary a complaint. It gives excellent feedback when I wander off track and make a silly syntax error. It also gives great feedback when you use breakpoints to see what the code is actually doing. Please keep up the good work.
CONSFeatures seem good to me; maybe detachable/expandable windows for viewing the output of long print jobs; add a beginner tutorial that covers a range of intro topics
Vendor Response
Thanks for the review! You can drag tools out of the main window by their tabs, which maybe will address what you're looking for to deal with output of long print jobs. Also, there is a tutorial in the Help menu, although it does focus on IDE functionality and not teaching about Python in general. Thanks again!

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!

Vendor Response
Thanks for the review! In case it helps people who read this, I think the reason this review mentions that adding packages can be tricky is that Wing doesn't currently have a package manager integration, so you need run pip or conda or whatever you're using from the command line.

A Senior Software Developer's Review of Wing
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.
PROSThe 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.
CONSWing has had some, though not a lot, of stability problems. Wing support has been very helpful in finding and fixing these as they occur.

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!

Best Python IDE
The debugger, refactoring, auto code completion, documentation , recommendations etc are the best features for developers to build faster applications.Theme selection is great, even support is awesome, they respond very quickly.
CONSMore themes can be included as other IDE supports. The GUI can be updated with better experience as it looks a little outdated as compared to the current market.
