Aside from all the goodness and awesomeness that comes with PyCharm, I would like to say I've noticed faster program startup with 1.5 with respect to 1.2.1. So I'm glad features are not the only thing being added with this release. With respect to the Vim vs PyCharm Discussion. I think Vim is great. It's fast, light, and you can customize the hell of it (if you're patient). With that said PyCharm is also great. After you start it up, it is also fast, and you can also do a whole bunch of customizations. At the end of the day, I'm gonna use the tool that is going make me more productive. For me that tool is PyCharm. Now I know some of you are just as productive on Vim, and more power to you guys. However, I would say it would be reasonable to assume that most of the population (of programmers that is) would be more productive through the extensive set of tools that have been so thoughtfully implemented into PyCharm. So my advice is to use the app that makes you crank out good clean code the fastest. I also recommend for everyone to at least give PyCharm a test drive by using the trial, specially if you are a Django developer.
