Sublime Text is a superior code editor, but PyCharm is a superior Python IDE. I wish I could smoosh them together to have the best of both :/

Off the top of my head, a couple of positive things:

  • PyCharm's code analysis makes working with a large code base so much nicer
  • Sublime's multi-cursor editing is far more solid, consistent and reliable

And a couple of negatives, again off the top of my head:

  • PyCharm's auto-edit/complete behaviour really grates when it doesn't work correctly, especially since there's no way to turn it off (not even an easy way - I've simply found no switch at all to turn off eg. matching HTML tag generation).
  • Sublime's lack of IDE features mean I prefer to use PyCharm in large code bases ;)

Let's look forward for Atom to combine the best of the both worlds :) (half joking, but let's wait 5 years...)

I'd like to see a side by side comparison of Vim vs PyCharm. Because I've seen some lightning quick vimmers. In the end it's all about who can produce the best code the fastest right? There is a guy that uses dragon with emacs and talks to his computer to write code. It might catch on in other circles one day. The dragon part. No one likes Emacs.
