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

[Alex M. <tec...@wi...>]

ERIC and Stani (SPE) are both very good code editors for python (Code
folding, autocomplete, etc. They are written in python and are not
resource hogs. But they also lack gui editing like BOA.

I found the pydev extension nothing short of frustrating and really
preferred the completely open source editors without the pay for some
features license. Well that and ecplise is a memory hog so unless you're
using a lot of stuff in Eclipse (almost like a desktop) it's way overkill.
