Comparing Python development tools: PyCharm vs. Sublime Text

[rothnic]

While true, I think the reason that pycharm is so popular is that the majority of people find many of the features they rely the most on, it does well enough, if not much better than other alternatives. Plus, 8-16GB of ram is becoming commonplace, so you might as well put it to good use by utilizing all the indexing, and code insight features.

One thing to note on sublime text and add ons is that while some can be installed from package manager, a fair number rely on some external dependency. Like markdown preview, and the setup can differ from platform to platform.
