When I first learned Python I spent a lot of time in interactive mode:
And when I finally started using Gedit, the syntax highlighting and bracket completion felt luxurious.
But the time has come for a proper IDE. I can't justify shelling out $200 for RubyMine just yet, but Atom 1.11.2 looks very promising.
Of course, I could learn to use Emacs or Vim, but that's probably a bit too far for me at this stage. I'd like to get there one day though.
