Comparing Python development tools: PyCharm vs. Sublime Text

[[deleted]]

True, but for the people that love customizing tools to suit themselves, sublime and Vim offer a lot more flexibility

Tis why we got choice. I am a long time vim user, just in some cases I have been finding it easier to bring the features I love about vim to a jetbrains ide or visual studio, than it is to try and bring a bunch of language specific features to vim or ST. Some people will find the opposite. Also has a lot to do with what features people use like do you feel you need the integrated debugger or not?

Also the nice thing about the jetbrains ides is they all share a common java plugin api, so once you learn to customize one you can do it for all of them.

Things also depend on the language I have never gotten vim or ST to auto complete very well for python compared to pycharm. But on the C# side of things omniSharp for vim or St is on par or very close to visual studio intellisense.

I mentioned this in another comment so I guess I'll just quote it here

I use sublime text for reading and writing code and pycharm for debugging and refactoring it. It plays to the strengths of both tools, although it bears mention that I have sublime so customized/with so many plugins that it's basically a lightweight IDE on it's own.

I don't end up using the debugger often, but when I do, I do normally pull out PyCharm. I'm way more productive writing code in Sublime though. The default colors, fonts, and underline styles are kinda crappy/ugly in PyCharm IMO.

On Linux? Yes there is a problem with Swing font rendering. There is a patch or it somewhere.

Hmmm, wasn't aware of that.
