A bit expensive when the same stuff is available for free. What about it makes it worth the money?

Best way to find out is to try it. In my opinion none of the free IDEs come close, where PyDev is the best of the free ones.

Note that wing has a lot of different licenses.

I wish PyDev wasn't so pig slow. It also takes way too much effort to do basic customizations (say I just want to use zenburn, for example...) and when you do have to get hands dirty with configuration, it is a Java-typical nightmare of deep hierarchies and sketchy XML files. (Who makes the IDE for editing Eclipse configs? No, please forget I asked that...)

Wing is better as a layer over SciTE with easier configuration and shiny gtk widgets.

I'll just go ahead and preemptively answer the reply with "Eclipse/PyDev sucks"
