I'll happily continue to pay for PyCharm even now that it's open-sourced (I re-upped for another year last week, and don't feel like I missed anything by not waiting for this). Aside from the fact that the Pro version has some killer features - Django support, remote interpreters, diagramming, and a .less editor - these guys deserve to be paid for an outstanding product.
I'm sure I could assemble a tool chain that does 90% of what I love about PyCharm in vi, but I'm a-OK with having my company pay $200 to have someone assemble that for me (or $100, if they didn't pay for it). In the same way that some people - but not me and my Lenovo - will pay extra for a shiny metal computer that just works, I'll pay extra for an IDE that gets out of the way when it should, and gets in the way it needs to.
