I can understand why they did it. They haven't won me over to eclipse 
though. I just find the interface too busy for my liking (although that 
could just be the way they ahve it setup for the school). If I am doing 
a few scripts I use Vim but I recently purchased PyCharm from the 
Jetbrains folks. I am really liking it. It is fairly new, but they are 
responsive to requests and have some nice features in the IDE (lots of 
Django integration, etc.). Anyway, choice is a good thing.  :)
