For transparency on multiple platforms, I need to reiterate the
suggestion to use the "traditional" IDE - editor, interactive,
testing. You're not going to find a comfortable experience, in my
opinion, on multiple platforms. Something is always compromised out to
make the product platform-agnostic.

On Mac OS X, I've been extremely pleased with TextMate, simply for its
rsync+ssh bundle (which I have bound to Shift+Cmd+S). I still have the
interactive IPython and testing terminal, but when I'm ready to send
code up to the server, Shift+Cmd+S. I don't use much else from
TextMate.

TextMate also has a save-when-I-lose-focus feature which is quite useful.

IPython. Very, very IPython.
