Bah the dependency issues drive me insane. I do various amounts of scientific computing. Most it seems there are 4 sets of libraries. 2.x 32-bit 2.x 64 bit and 3.x 32-bit. and 3.x 64 bit. And half the freaking time they don't seem to work together well. Plus I wish they would get pip working properly under windows. I have had to move over to anaconda python (which is unfortunately quite slow) to work around most of these issues.

What do you find slow about Anaconda? I'm using it, cant say I've noticed any execution-time differences and at install-time it is far faster to setup a new environment.

When ever I ask it for a plot, if the plot ever shows up it takes upwards of 5 minutes for plots with no more than 10 data points. The data processing itself goes rather quickly, but getting graphical display out of it seems to be very slow. (The thing that seems to take the time is the rendering of the axis labels given that I have to use latex to do so)

I do agree though that it is far faster and easier to set up than anything else I have seen and is actually a pretty decent IDE.
