I like Ninja-Ide, because it is ideal for working with the python language, where it provides facilities for ideation tabs, something very important in Python, command highlighting, a large gallery of plug-ins that offers a lot of code complement, which it facilitates and reduces the programmer's effort in developing routines, since many of them are made and provided by the Pyrthon community. It also facilitates the organization of the files through its Project Tabs where you can create, delete or export files. The programmer can also relocate and activate the tool tabs he needs and in the place of the programming environment he wants. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ninja IDE? What I don't like about Ninja-ide, although I am an exclusive dedicated programmer, I also master the Php Language, and sometimes I need to keep php code and I must use another text editor, since this editor is special and adapted to Python, but very uncomfortable to work with another programming language. Another detail is that the editor presents some compatibility flaws with Windows 10, where the option of executing code in the console and interrupting the operation of the program is relatified, where it must be loaded again, losing code, if I was editing it in that moment without saving the file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering Ninja IDE: I would recommend it for those companies that work with the python code or a python-based framework, since it provides a large number of add-ons and routines that have been significantly increased, which significantly reduces the developer's programming time, reducing the coding times of a project. It is also an IDE development editor that is very fast and easy to install and configure since most of the basic programmer plug-ins are already integrated into the Software installation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Ninja IDE solving and how is that benefiting you? The main benefit is the increased productivity of my code that I develop in python specifically in django. Since the plugins or plug-ins ideal for programming in python are integrated by default in the editor. This facilitates the generation of code, since many routines already developed by the Python community worldwide are reused. Another of the things that makes my job easier is that it is multiplatform and in my place of work the Debian Operating System and in my house is Windows, and on both platforms it is installed fast and without configuration problem, thus facilitating its transportability.

What I like the most is that it is a lightweight IDE, the code is displayed in colors according to whether they are variables, functions... You can compile the code without relying on the Windows CMD, plugins can be installed, some necessary like the debugger, it has keyboard shortcuts that help a lot, it is a cross-platform program that can be used on Linux, Windows, and OS X. It allows you to manage projects, save descriptions and information about them, and allows the user to perform tasks related to file management within the IDE itself. You can easily see all the functions, classes, and attributes in the current program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Ninja IDE?
