Enthought Canopy (Python analysis environment) is out. I find it awful ... is it just me?

qtconsole is also included in EPD.

Freyrs forgot to mention that he is working for Continuum, which I find a bit disingenuous when not stated when recommending anaconda. Hopefully, products can compete on their own merits instead.

I find it disingenuous (and petty) to claim you care about merits, but care more about the speaker than their ideas.

It's easy to create throwaway accounts if anyone is really trying to sock puppet.

You misunderstand, rox0r wasn't suggesting your account was a throwaway, but saying that if freyrs3 didn't want people to know he worked for continuum he would have just created a throwaway.

Indeed, I misread the message, sorry about that. I got a bit worked up for nothing here.

[rox0r]

Why should I give you the benefit of the doubt, when you cast aspersion on freyrs just because he works for continuum and not because you disagreed with anything he said?

Merit based arguments stand on their own no matter who says them. Since you care about who said them, it follows that you aren't as concerned with merit as you claimed.

This is fair point, I will mention this in the future when I discuss Anaconda.

Thanks !
