I'm excited about this as an alternative to the IPython notebook, but with more of an IDE feel. This means the notebook can focus on what it's good at without adding more IDE-like features.

IPython notebook looks great for what it does, ideal for scientists who need one off scripts and be able to show their working, but that and the rise in online IDE's seem like a step backwards for a serious developer. They are great for getting started, but are seriously lacking in other areas.

I would have said spyder, since that's the de facto Python IDE for data science. But aren't both really just matlab?

Matlab and ipython notebook are totally different things

Yes, but they both take inspiration from how Xerox PARC and Symbiotic REPLs used to work, or more close to modern days Dr Scheme/Racket.

This looks really interesting (not to mention aesthetically appealing)!

In what situation would Rodeo be more appropriate than, say Spyder [0] or other native applications, and how do they differ in terms of functionality?

Rodeo, like RStudio is built on the ACE editor. This is why they look the same, not because it is a "copy" of RStudio. Plus they fulfill the same function; so they are bound to look very similar.

Nobody mentioned notebook in this thread. Maybe you clicked reply the wrong place? Spyder is the Python IDE that takes after matlab, not ipython notebook.

Nobody said it in this thread, but it was stated in the article:
