Almost all of these points don't seem to be related to the language, but
to your environment.

I do some of my Python development locally and and some remotely, but
that's mostly because to me it doesn't make much difference (vim in a
terminal works the same when I'm ssh'd into a server as when I work
locally) and not having to replicate the environment is a plus for me.
If my tools worked only locally, I could do all development locally.

What is "the develop option"? Again, it seems like you are talking about
a specific environment, not Python the language.
