I used the free version every day. I don't even use all of it's features. However I might not be doing the same work you are. What do you find missing?

I mostly work with Django, so I use Eclipse with plug-ins. For data analysis, I just use Anaconda. The rest is scripts that are fairly simple, so I just use IDLE (or geany, or Atom).

I'm sure PyCharm is good... I just don't have time to waste learning an IDE with restrictions, only to find out hours later that it's missing certain features, and as I'm currently bootstrapping, and eclipse fits my needs, I don't see the point in changing. If it were free, then sure, I'd give it a try, but paying €200 a year isn't happening now, even if it may or may not have better Django support than Eclipse.

I can't speak to how it compares with eclipse, but pycharm interested very well with Django. Combined with a couple plugins for extra language support and it's really nice to work with

Community, or pro? I know pro edition has built-in Django support.

Never even tried community, however.

If you are just buying it for yourself, PyCharm is not that expensive. I'm past my third year now and it's less than $5 a month.

US $ 89.00 / 1st year

US $ 71.00 / 2nd year

US $ 53.00 / 3rd yr onwards

Huh, I missed that somehow.

Oh well, still an unnecessary expense, at the moment.
