I like PyCharm, but I get tired of the Java shenanigans with it. So I decided to take the bait and try this one out. This were my “first five minutes” thoughts:</div><div sab="194"><br sab="195"></div><div sab="196">1) I googled Eric IDE. It took me to your project page. I clicked downloads, but got no download link. Any reason not to actually link to the source forge downloads from that page?</div><div sab="197">2) Glancing at features as I’m doing this, I see plugins for various SCMs, but not git? Maybe it’s included in the stock and doesn’t need a plugin? I hope so!</div><div sab="198">3) This install is definitely “some assembly required” with the various dependencies. If I was in a TLDR mood, this probably would have killed me going forward. On a Debian Jessie/Testing box, I find myself asking, do I have these various things installed? No clue really. </div><div sab="199">4) I couldn’t figure out which debian package to install to get an QtSql module (per the install.py’s feedback). I have debian packages that look like they should be that. I *am* curious why I need an SQL module in the first place for an IDE?</div><div sab="200">5) I wish this was python3</div><div sab="201"><br sab="202"></div><div sab="203">Switching to my OS X box…</div><div sab="204"><br sab="205"></div><div sab="206">1) The PyQT module installation became sufficiently involved, I bailed.</div><div sab="207"><br sab="208"></div><div sab="209">I’d really like to try this out, especially on Linux.
