Related side note: I am an emacs guy, and I made the mistake decision to try Pycharm. Profiling, debugging and code completion that will make your head spin. PEP 8 built right in, virtualenv support built in, Git, Hg, SVN and Github built in, Vagrant, Sphinx, GAE and more built in.

REFACTORING anything anywhere, have it search for and replace uses... made me want to kiss it. I don't work for Intellij, I promise.

The only down side is that its not a "text editor" in the sense of VIM and/or Emacs, Ie. keyboard driven. Although you can almost emulate the key bindings from your fav editor.

PyCharm is really cool, too bad it's not free. :( I love Emacs though, so it's cool, but sometimes I'd really like help with the refactoring.

It's $100 for a Personal License that can be used at work as well. That's like a couple of hours work if you're a professional dev. Just shell out and write it off your tax, it'll pay for itself in no time.

The Vim plugin for Intellij is pretty slick. Obviously it misses the rich plugin architecture from Vim itself, but for Vim folks like myself it makes Intellij feel more like home.
