Ubuntu Dapper and Gnome. (I need Unix on commodity hardware. I need it with as little pain in the butt as possible.) SciTE for my code, though, which is pretty much just glorified Notepad with syntax hightlighting :P Just because I like to reinvent a bike here or there for fun doesn't mean I'm not lazy :P > For me?

Which is why I don't use TurboGears :) Speaking of duct-tape, though. The various "magic" bits of Django seemed, to me at least, to be somewhat duct-tape-ish. Yeah, it was certainly useful being able to just set a variable and have it do something cool that you need, but it made me scared of what extra magic might be hiding under the hood that might bite me in the butt later. I think the law of leaky abstractions applies here. I'm not saying Django's bad or flawed. It's just my preference. Plus I'm by no means an expert on Django.
