Like: Built-in python interpreter so you can do any editor customizations in Python Good multilanguage support (Python, but also C, C++, Java, HTML, XML, SQL, and dozens of others) FAST Good code navigation via smart tags Does intelligent completion of module members, methods, etc Python syntax checking on the fly (e.g. typing "if a=1:" and hitting enter flags the error immediately) Class browsing support (whatever I'm editing, there's a class menu to either pop up to the parent(s), down to children, or jump around various methods within the class) Automatically show function/method docstrings/leading comments (and documentation for standard functions), synopsis in the status bar or full text in a popup window if you hit F1 Configurable project support so for large projects it is smart about which parts of the source tree might be relevant to what I'm working on right now Runs in text-mode or GUI, so I can use the same editor making quick edits over ssh that I use in my on-desktop development Hate: Required a lot of customization to get all of the above -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
