I primarily use Sublime, TextMate or Komodo on Mac for python dev but would love to also use VS. I do run windows and do most dev on that under VS. Maybe one day VS will come to Mac, I know that doesn't follow the platform mission but would get some good traction for Visual Studio going forward and a little fire under Xcode for C/C++ dev on Mac.

One thing that drives me nuts in Xcode as opposed to VS is that the autocomplete only completes when you hit tab. I want it to compete when I hit a period or a space too like it does in VS! Considering you find them both basically equal, have you found a workaround for this or is it just not frustrating to you?

Try PyCharm. It works on Mac and Windows and is miles ahead of XCode for Python.

#13is there ruby equivalent?
Never used it myself though, so I can't speak for it.

Unfortunately no, just have to deal. Some use "CTRL + SPACE" or ESC or "CTRL + ," but it still doesn't do it very smart. VS autocomplete is still smarter and quicker it seems. I do like the greying auto complete of XCode as you type as sometimes the drop down gets in the way.

#17This doesn't even mention the most awesome feature of PTVS 2.0: mixed-mode debugging, which provides an integrated experience for debugging mixed Python/C processes. See https://pytools.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Mixed-mode%20deb... for details. Disclaimer: I used to work on IronPython.
That's really nice. I wish there would be something comparable for debugging JNI/Java code.

It is mentioned.
