Prior to Python I used to work with Visual Studio (C# and VB) and loved it - especially the ease of designing great-looking GUIs and ease of access to API documentation.
But the half-baked integration of VS with Python or IronPython, and the slow/clunky evolution of PTVS has put me off Microsoft tooling for good. Python is a great language for nimble development - locking yourself in to Microsoft's whim messes up with that, unfortunately.
