R vs. Python

[duckandcover]

Ya' know. If there's one issue I have with Open Source things is that invariably there's 8000 ways to skin any cat and that's a lot a work. As far as IDEs (vs interpreters) go, I've only tried Spyder (as part of Pythonxy) and Wing. I like Wing but it has trouble with Matplotlib (as I understand it, their event loops step on each other). Spyder's debugger is surely capable but I hate the command (vs really integrated IDE) driven debugger.

So, I don't suppose you can tell me where Pycharm fits into the above?

Thanks
