IDLE vs. Routific vs. SlickEdit vs. Wing Python IDE Comparison Chart

IDLE is Python’s Integrated Development and Learning Environment. IDLE has the following features: - coded in 100% pure Python, using the tkinter GUI toolkit - cross-platform: works mostly the same on Windows, Unix, and macOS - Python shell window (interactive interpreter) with colorizing of code input, output, and error messages - multi-window text editor with multiple undo, Python colorizing, smart indent, call tips, auto completion, and other features - search within any window, replace within editor windows, and search through multiple files (grep) - debugger with persistent breakpoints, stepping, and viewing of global and local namespaces - configuration, browsers, and other dialogs

A true cross-platform, multi-language code editor, with support for over 60 languages on 9 platforms. Build or compile your project, then double-click on an error message in the Build window to jump to that location. Errors and warnings are marked with an icon in the left margin. In addition, the overview bar, positioned alongside the vertical scrollbar, marks the position of errors and warnings relative to the current scroll position in the document. To quickly scroll a marked location into view, you can drag the scrollbar slider to the mark, or click on the mark itself. SlickEdit's integrated debugging provides a convenient and easy to use front-end for many debuggers. Set breakpoints, step, inspect the stack, view variables/members - all the features you expect from a debugger. SlickEdit supports debugging for: GNU C/C++, Java, WinDbg, Clang C/C++ LLDB, Google Go, Python, Perl, Ruby, PHP, XCode, Scala, C# using Mono, Visual Basic using Mono, and Android JVM/NDK.
