is really slow, for both netbeans and eclipse, I bet there is just a lot there under the covers, and will be slow for wing, too, right?

Now for wing testing (This is another machine).

scratch the gp at the end, perhaps ap

since gp is a part of geoprocessing.
import arcpy as ap
ap.geoprocessing.gp

Is there a symbol set for all the little icons in wing by chance? No symbol for arcpy.arcobjects.cls in wing

It seems like there are multiple ways to get at the tools, so, for those wanting a ux like the old gp, you can still get to CreateFile from arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management, conversely, you can use the dot notation through management to achieve the same results, such as arcpy.management.CreateFileGDB, was this done to help us old gp users, or just thought multiple ways were better

so, basically, it makes sense to be able to do it one way, and not two ways. The first way (arcpy.CreateFileGDB_management is redundant), compared to arcpy.management.CreateFileGDB. It seems like it would make sense to have 1 way of doing something in python, not two ways. I think this is what makes the help so bloody confusing.
