[IPython-dev] Quick question out of interest...

Hi all

When looking at the popular scientific computing environments for Python,
there seems to be a trend for building dense UIs, with lots of buttons and
about three panels, much like Eclipse. IPython is far more minimalistic,
wrapping most features with textual interfaces and providing a relatively
linear UI.

Does anyone here who uses the tools with the Eclipse style interfaces, such
as Wakari, Spyder and Canopy, have a few minutes to explain any benefits
they find in working through those types of user interfaces?

This question isn't entirely academic. I'm casually hoping to learn
something about UI design.

Thank you, and as ever, all the best with IPython.

Carl
