btw - personal licences only (i.e. not commercial licenses).

As I understood it a personal license is just a named license (you can still use it commercially).

From the documentation:

Personal licenses are not available to companies in any way or form. Transfer of personal licenses to any third party and/or reimbursement for personal license purchase by a company are prohibited by the Personal License Agreement.

So not sure what to make of that exactly... Individuals can buy it and use it commercially but companies can't? Even if you're a contractor working in your spare time, you are likely to be registered as a limited company.

i have a personal licence and use it for work. no-one has sued me. it's my ide. i bought it. i use it. that is how i expect things to work.

surely the commercial licence is for when a company is buying it, and expects to have N programmers, who are replaceable, using it at any one time. that's a completely different use case.

the only frustrating thing is that if you have multiple machines (say a desktop and a laptop) and switch between them (eg working one project on the laptop in living room; leaving the ide open for another project in the office) then it complains. you can fix this by blocking some firewall port (bonjour iirc). oh, that and the complete LACK OF SUPPORT FOR C / C++... in intellij idea.

Fantastic! I've been trying out PyCharm and really loving it. I'm used to programming in nice cozy Windows IDEs, so this is making picking up Python a lot easier for me than using vi or Sublime.

Funny, I find the IdeaVim plugin that emulates some Vim functionality to be one of my top reasons for loving all the JetBrains products.

The big thing for me is stuff like good code completion. I import a library and can just type "objectname." and then it tells me all the properties and methods of the object. I don't know if there are any plugins for Vim to make that work, but in Pycharm it works very well straight out of the box.

Can someone chime in with how Pycharm compares to Komodo Edit - or maybe just if you've had a positive/negative experience with Pycharm? I'm starting to get a little frustrated with Komodo, and I remember liking a very brief Pycharm demo I tried a few years back, but I'd love to hear an HNer's opinion if you happen to use it day to day. It seemed to have a pretty good reputation back then, but one of the concerns I h…

I have used PyCharm daily since its early versions and have been mostly happy with it. When I think about it, it's actually the first IDE for any language I've kept using for longer than a couple of weeks. The best features for me include code navigation, run/test/debug, refactoring, inspections, keyboard-friendliness. It's also got a decent editor and built-in support for Sass and CoffeeScript. Btw, they also provide a free licence for open source development.

I need pycharm student licence! is that included?

No, but the personal license is now actually cheaper than the academic license (at least for IDEA), so you're actually better off. Pretty sure the academic license is no longer valid as soon as you finish school.
