Re: [Boa Constr] 20100113 Test build available effects on Boa Constructor

[Chris S. <csp...@ci...>]

As far as I know, the PyDev extension for Eclipse does not have ANY
GUI design tools.  Since this is 99% of what I use BOA for, Eclipse is
no solution for me.

Also, I find Eclipse's project management to be a Byzantine twisty
maze of passages, all alike.  For basic source code editing, I either
use Textpad or Ulipad...depending on how much I want to do
split-screen editing.  Using Eclipse is like trying to shoot a
mosquito with an elephant gun that fires sledgehammers.  WAAAAAY
overkill and poorly designed.
