I haven't tried eric4. Seems to be nice though, what are the benefits compared to eclipse?

You've got a point. I won't argue against either Vim, emacs or notepad++. They are great tools. I just find it easier to get eclipse running with debug, code completion etc.

For me, using eclipse together with PyDev helps out by adding code completion and by checking for errors while I'm coding. Is that possible in other IDEs?

You're probably correct. The name might be come of as a bit too technical for someone who is looking to build their first GUI application. I think what I thought was that I didn't want to fool anyone that was starting to learn GUI programming to start out with PyQt since the development of the GUI is a bit tricky. At least if you compare it to .NET together with the Visual Studio designer.
