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. > > 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\! ----- ### "I'm a fan of Wingide and I'm happy to admit it." — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 January 2019* | Machinery | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "Great debugger" — 4.0/5 > **Melvin** | *14 February 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy way to step through python code line by line. > > **Cons**: Not as lightweight as the text editors I am used to. ----- ### "Just about the best & worth every penny (Pro User)" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 January 2019* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **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. > > 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. ----- ### "highly recommended for professional and amateur" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *18 January 2019* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **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 > > 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" ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/207994/wing-python-ide?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.com.au/software/207994/wing-python-ide) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
