It's a bit lame, but I am so in love with rstudio... I can't think of a python IDE that's near for data science. Simple things like being able to see all the entities you've created in your session and being able to jump back and forth through plots are really nice.



Since the comment from the new account mentioning it may be modded away, I'll say (as a recent user, not affiliated with them in any way) that Rodeo is a fairly robust integrated analysis environment, a more immediate kind of Jupyter notebook. They recently added a native dataframe viz, too.

Also a silly reason: for me the text rendering in Rodeo on a Mac without a retina display is a lot worse than the text rendering in RStudio.


I am with you on this. While I feel like I should eventually move fully into python for data, with it being a more multipurpose language. I can never never seem to make the transition because python does not have a rstudio equivalent.

I have tried yhat's rodeo and also yhat's port of ggplot for python but it just isn't there yet in my opinion.


For python you have something similar, though not quite as good with https://github.com/spyder-ide (Spyder).

I use both heavily in my daily work.
