Wing IDE 5 Reviews

Best Python IDE Ever!

Excellent python development environment - the debugger is especially good.

Probably the best IDE I have used...very nice.

Nice IDE. no issues at all. everything you need to be productive.

PyCharm is much more customizable and it's free, so, no, I wouldn't recommend this IDE.

TL;DR Great platform, amazing debugging, and offers a lot of baked-in value, especially at the price. There are other platforms just as capable with similar offerings, but from personal perspective, I liked what little bit I tested out. Unfortunately latent discoveries compelled me to uninstall becaue the overall package didn't fit my personal need. It would however, fit the need of many with more expeirence and / or fewer requirements. FULL I liked what I used within it, and it definately met some of the needs through addressing many wants but I was unaware that WINGS IDE 6 was released on 12/20 which packs in several modernized features to include directly working within Raspberry Pi as well as other feature-rich items....IF you buy the $245 professional edition. However, there is now a free edition that is just an updated version of IDE 5 and the developers moved away from Personal / Commercial to Personal / Professional. I dont fully understnad this model and offering Pi as a 'professional' feature given most users of Pi dont create a full blown product for sale. Though they may, it doesnt encourage use and learning to use IDE for the growing popularity of Pi based systems.

By far the best IDE I ever used. Every tool you can think of is available.Very responsive support. No regrets despite the high price

Easy to use, good debugging options and nice UI, direct Python Reference, good project managment. Everything that you can wish your python IDE has to have! :)

Beyond the outstanding features of the editor, this software is excellent on two fronts: 1) It integrated with Autodesk Maya perfectly, on the very first try, no issues what-so-ever. 2) The tech support is phenomenal. I mostly use the software to develop python helper scripts for Maya and Nuke, and while the interface is touch on the ugly side, the functionality of WingIDE is far better than any other option I have tried (Notepad++, Pycharm, and Sublime). I also use Eclipse for Python/C/C++ dev at work, and god how I wish it had the ease of use that WingIDE does. Eclipse has a lot of setup, where WingIDE just works. What put me over the top to fully recommend this software is the tech support. They are phenomenal. I had a problem with the software not finding a license after the most recent update on steam, I sent an email to thier tech support and got a response almost immediately. They solved my issue and they were a joy to deal with. This is the best cutomer support experience I have had from anyone ever. Pros: + Very powerful, fully featured python IDE. + Extremetly easy to setup and integrate with various 3D software packages. + Probably the best customer support on the planet. Cons: - The interface is need of a facelift (it's a little on the ugly side).
