That will be reverted in the next version, i.e. it'll be optional.

Thanks for your remarks! I think they are a testament to what we're really trying to: provide a comfortable environment to do scientific computing that also has the nice features y…

We were aware of that and very careful to not allow something like it for Spyder users.

You're probably using an old version of Spyder because this problem was fixed a long time ago: https://github.com/jupyter/qtconsole/pull/397

At the time we did that poll we had ~1000 followers on Twitter, so that's 15% of our audience, which is pretty good for an online poll. But more important than that, we receive ~20…

We're working to improve that

Because it'd make everything look huge in non-high DPI displays. It's a trade off, but most people still use them.

Sure, it works with any Python installation/environment that has spyder-kernels installed.

Unfortunately we haven't had time to address that, but it's high in our TODO list. We hope to do it this year.

Thanks for the feedback. That's planned for this year, i.e. to have auto-updating and signed installers (at least on Mac). So stay tuned.

Great! It's too late for us to include it in our next version (4.2.2), but we'll definitely consider it for Spyder 5.0, to be released in April.

They funded us to implement this feature: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26042582 But we also consider it a nice suggestion to our users, for a feature they've asked for year…

Yeah, updates in Anaconda can be bumpy. That's why we decided to create our own installers for Windows and Mac: https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/releases/tag/v4.2.1

Well, this is the thing: code completion in Python is not a a simple task and we've struggled for years to improve it. Now we support the Language Server Protocol (designed by Micr…

Thanks a lot for your kind words! And I'm glad to know Spyder works smoothly for you with pip (it's not usually the case). Too bad you had a bad experience with Kite, but (as I sai…

Yes, you can disable hovers and hints completely. For that you need to go to the menu Tools > Preferences and then Completion and linting > Introspection and disable there "Show ca…

As I said, it's a two times thing, but if it bothers you so much, we could a command line option to disable those messages completely. Would that be ok?

Thanks a lot your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed using Spyder and have fond memories of it.

Agreed, installing Spyder with pip can lead to a lot of headaches. That's why we don't recommend to use it and suggest Anaconda/conda instead. But that solution also became problem…

Fixed now, sorry for the inconvenience.

Right, we haven't had resources to invest on it, so it's been developed by the community. It'd be nice if we could use Neovim for text manipulations and show what comes back from i…

Yes, it's written in PyQt and we integrate with a lot of libraries in the Scientific Python ecosystem (Pandas, Sympy, IPython, Matplotlib, Scipy, Cython, etc).
