Free Wolfram Engine for Developers: What editor or IDE do you use?

Posted 6 years ago

I am curious about people using the Free Wolfram Engine for Developers (http://www.wolfram.com/engine/)

I have two questions:

  1. What editor and/or IDE do you use primarily with the WE to develop your code?
  2. If Wolfram added the notebook based package editor (File > New > Package/Script) would this be useful to you? Or would you not use it and, if so, why not?

Thanks for any insight you can give me.

Additional feedback on the notebook package editor is also welcome.

This is a feedback on the notebook package editor. I have comments on four of the menu items.

enter image description here

1. Functions

One expects it to open a up a selector pointing to the functions in the package, But the selection also contains pointers to code within functions. Confusing.

2. Update

What does this button do?

3. Debug

Avoid checking this box. If you do, it produces a palette which cannot be closed. Until you quit the kernel. Annoying.

4. Run all code

Could have a better label. Does what is more commonly known as Evaluate Initialization Cells
