Tried it out on existing code. Was complaining that spacing wasn't a multiple of 4, when I set it to 2 spaces in the prefs. I even reloaded it and verified the setting. Back to Sublime!

I don't use this editor but I can almost guarantee that its actually pep8 complaining about spaces. Not that this solves your problem but there is a disconnect between editor configuration and pep8.

Side note: Hope you use 4 spaces on new projects! :)

I'm not based in the US and I rarely see people use KDE compared to other Linux DEs

Against your anecdotal evidence I'll present a somewhat less anecdotal evidence in the fact that KDE was voted best desktop environment in the last annual LinuxQuestions members choice awards. Clearly people voting for it are the ones using it, don't you think?

If anything was "clear" from a non-randomly sampled poll, we wouldn't need randomly sampled polls.

Wing IDE is great

"Me too". I've tried many Python IDEs, settled down with Wing IDE.

The one feature I truly love in that IDE is "debug probe". Once you breakpoint (or hit an unhandled exception), you can walk up and down the call stack and evaluate arbitrary expressions in any frame. SO handy.

Although vim has almost completely sucked me in already, does this thing have support for 1) separate indentation settings for different file formats and 2) separate indentation settings for different "projects"? I've been looking forever for a text editor that does this and surprisingly few do.

The IntelliJ family of PyCharm, RubyMine and WebStorm can do this.

Just tried it. Looks nice but a bit lacking on the code completion, i think. Maybe I need to give it another chance.

Also, I think would be nice if there was a way to interact with the console after running a script. I realize this may be sort of an odd request, but it is very convenient when you're not quite sure on how you want to solve a problem, and you need to try out some solutions interactively. I greatly enjoy this in spyder, my current python ide of choice.

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'm not sure why, but I've never used the VCS integration in an IDE.

Jetbrains integrates them so freakin well - it's hard not to use them

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

I think you mean "yet another GUI for Git." "GUI Interface" expands to "Graphical User Interface Interface." Sorry, I could not help myself.

Why is this downvoted? He politely corrected parent's word usage and that should be encouraged, no?

Having very recently switched to Sublime Text 2 (from Komodo Edit), I'm curious if this offers anything that can't be done with Sublime + mature existing plugins...?

Does ST2 have a REPL? (This is no value statement. I honestly want to know.)

Yes. View >> Show Console.
