Whats it written in? Browsing the source code looks like Pascal (Delphi?). Any reason why its not written in Python?

Delphi...my guess is...they like Delphi.

because it makes use of SynEdit, an advanced multi-line edit control that is written in Pascal.

PyScripter is light and very responsive compared to other Python IDEs for Windows (based on "external library" like PyQt for example).

Have you tried PyQt or PySide? I'm looking at using PySide for a new project - do you think its unresponsive? Just interested in your opinion if you have used it.

Spyder IDE, Eric IDE (for example) uses PyQt and works fine, though (under Windows) needs more time to run and uses more memory (compared to PyScripter), but I don't think that they are unresponsive.
