A+ Erica.
I recently was in a conversation where the general flow was which IDE is 
better (for python) Huge number of replies with "My favorite is..."
My answer is learn one simple one - vi, nano, gedit, etc... and find 
where the edges are.  The point where you want to do something that the 
current IDE cannot do, then you need to look for, "What IDE can do X?" 
This is the question hardly ever addressed.  I am proud of our list for 
mentioning a few actual features and benefits (useful for the newbie, or 
person looking for a new tool-set).

PS I gave up on IDLE when I found line numbers would be useful and I 
couldn't do them.  My current favorite GUI IDE is geany and CLI IDE is 
vi.  I am nowhere near the edges of either in my skill level or needs.
