I keep trying PyHarm and giving up. I've never been able to get it configured well for the way I work. So I keep going back to SublimeText with with Python IDE plugins. Then I get frustrated with that workflow because it doesn't well working on remote servers and go back to VIM. Which I also can't seem to get comfortably configured. So then I boot one of my macs into Windows for a while and use VS with Pyrhon Tools and get frustrated with Windows, and well . . . . Sorry, I know this isn't about Python. I've just never found that jet brains products work well for me. I feel like I'm fighting with them. Maybe it's time to give it another shot.

I think it's very dependent on your programming style. Compared to Jedi in Emacs and Atom, PyCharm's symbol detection/jump to definition/refactoring is absolutely world class. After learning the keyboard shortcuts for "Jump to Symbol"," Jump to File", and "Jump to Class" my productivity increased maybe 3 fold. Why should I remember where stuff is when the computer can do it for me? I'd recommend turning off tabs and using split views though. You can get a lot of mileage if you tweak PyCharm (especially for web projects, where the HTML/JS/Typescript integrations help a lot)

Disclaimer: I'm the PyCharm Developer Evangelist. That said, I'd be interested to hear what stuff from ST you couldn't get going the way you'd like in PyCharm. In fact, I just wrote draft docs talking about migrating from text editors. Also, if it helps, we just did a Getting Started nine-part series of screencasts, available on YouTube. Of course, if the part that isn't working for you doesn't get mentioned, then I need to add to the series.
