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.

Also known as RAS Syndrome

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

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

Agreed. There are so many bits of 'cross platform' software where the OSX build requires X11. Considering X11 doesn't come with the newer installs of OSX (and there's no media with extra bits), and stuff like Airs have space at a premium, the X11 option is pretty terrible.

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.

No, we shouldn't. It's about just the right line length to mate reading a lot easier. Take a look at this to see what I mean [1]. Another thing, one liners are great, and I love them too. But they don't hurt only readability.

Am I the only one who uses PyDev?

A couple of people used to use it a work, but then we all switched to PyCharm and haven't looked back

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.

Indeed, and we don't need an extra 30+ posts in each thread that don't add to the discussion but simply point spelling/grammar errors.

It would be great to see some screen shots.

Yep, I was quite annoyed when browsing to their site that I can't find any screenshots at all. And as someone mentioned, a video would be nice as well.

I'm a bit reluctant to download an app with so little information except from a sparse bit of text.

That's a good point, although I feel that "development on KDE" needs a response: KDevelop isn't limited to making KDE applications, and KDE applications like KDevelop aren't limited to running inside the KDE shell - the major Linux desktops are quite interoperable today as far as running applications goes. Furthermore, generally speaking KDE apps are also available for Windows (via the KDE Windows installer) and OS X…

I personally don't feel like downloading all the hundreds of megabytes of KDE runtimes just to fire up an IDE for a test run (this is on Xubuntu).

"hundreds of megabytes of KDE runtimes" is absolute FUD. libkde4core is 2.5MB on my system here. Even all the KDE libraries that you would need are only going to be in the 10s of MB. Did you actually do a test to see how much you would need?
