Personally I would avoid IronPython Studio - it is very brittle and was 
created as an 'example' of extending visual studio, not for production use.

For a Windows Forms designer I use Visual Studio (Express) and compile 
the generated GUI into a class library which I import from IronPython. 
This technique, along with building Windows Forms applications in 
general is covered in IronPython in Action.

For an IronPython IDE (without designer) I would recommend Wing, 
Netbeans, or SharpDevelop.

Actually SharpDevelop has very good IronPython support including a 
Windows Forms designer and IronPython debugger.

Either would be very good, both would be better. :-)
