What would really help is a small demo video just to get a whiff of what the IDE feels like. The description and screenshots are somehow not enough for me to download and install an entire IDE and take a test drive. If there is a demo video somewhere, my apologies - I was not able to find it.

There's one on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDlWk_Z7JPQ

We don't have tutorials yet, but you could take a look at a couple of videos about Code Completion in NINJA-IDE:

It is FOSS (GPLv3). The license information was a wee bit hard to find (Wayyy down on the about page http://ninja-ide.org/about/ ) and I first thought it was some frankenstein freemuim product where you had to apply for a free license if you were an OSS devel (like PyCharm) etc. etc. I gave it a whirl: 1. Snappy, which is nice, since PyCharm can be sluggish on my Mac 2. No VCS integration 3. By default very strict co…

I would rather have developers work on the IDE than make yet another GUI interface for Git. You have the command line for that.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This is a very strange reason not to like a product. Care to elaborate why?

Oh, the old saying "Write once, run crappily everywhere." See the other comments already talking about it crashing or having weird behavior. It's something I've come to after many years of trying cross-platform apps that involve a GUI... They are almost all terrible. I hope the group who agrees with me is cancelling out all the down-votes I got for expressing a valid & common opinion. :)

We are indeed!

In this case, it runs using X11 on OSX, which is a terrible way of making software ;)

Am I the only one who uses PyDev?

PyDev user here too. Although I don't use it directly anymore but through Aptana.

It works out of the box and also supports javascript/html/css/... so is ideal for developing webapps with a python backend.

Ninja looks nice, but nothing I saw in the screencast makes me want to make the jump.

As others have already mentioned, PEP8 validation is enable by default, which is a little excessive in my opinion (specially with the line All in all it looks very nice, thanks for sharing.

I think that we as an industry need to drop the 80 char per line rule.
