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?

There's a fine line between correction and pedantry.

It's useless noise - the parent's intention was clear

Can someone explain to me why this is at the top of the front page despite a website devoid of useful detail, while this completely fails to catch on: http://scummos.blogspot.de/2012/11/kdev-python-14-stable-rel... (Seriously, check it out - KDevelop's Python plugin and Microsoft's PTVS are currently the two projects doing serious work on static analysis of Python for live editing purposes. Here's a nice subthread co…

Thank you a lot for this! This is really impressive.

A shame that it probably will be a bit tricky to get this running on OSX...

Maybe a good starting point is here: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/pull/8511

I'd guess it's due to KDE's general lack of popularity. Typically, nothing done under the KDE umbrella gets noticed.

I'm going to guess you're based in the US, because the two big Linux desktop camps are indeed somewhat split along the continents as far as mindshare goes. Makes me wonder about the exact breakdown by geographical area of the HN readership :).

Don't forget to throw Mac and Windows into the mix. You're forgetting two much, much larger user bases.

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.)

There's also a separate ST2 package called SublimeREPL that supports other languages (https://github.com/wuub/SublimeREPL).

Just because a statement's meaning is clear doesn't make it easy to read. Even seemingly minor errors (such as mixing up "it's" with "its") disrupts the flow of reading.

As soon as I see the words "cross-platform" on an IDE, I'm no longer interested. Looks really nice though, they did a good job with branding.

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

You really can't think of any reasons why a person would suspect a cross-platform IDE to be a waste of time? I stupidly downloaded the 141MB only to find out it requires X11 (ugh) on a Mac which isn't even included in MacOS anymore (yuck). Delete.

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.

I don't.

I have a fairly large screen (27inch cinema display) and use Vim. 80 Character lines are perfect. They look nicer, are easy to read (in the same way books are easy to read when lines are not super long) and with vim can accommodate ~4 split windows side by side which is useful.

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.

Confirmed -- I've used WebStorm and it's derivative PHPStorm for several years, they are excellent IDEs.
