#142Can 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…
Before trying PyCharm and switching basically immediately I was using heavily plugged Vim and Tmux setup.
The main problem I had with the old setup was not Python, actually it was JavaSript editing, since Vim syntax highlighting just breaks down on modern JS.
After I tried out PyCharm I was an instant convert, JS and HTML editors are awersome, Vim integration is awesome and Django and VCS integrations are awesome.

Working on it. Sorry about this.

I can assure you that this was not to "just create hype" and that the team is working to get up and running as quickly as possible.

#147Judging by how slow your site is at 7am EST, I'd say your sale is a big success :) Anyone used AppCode? I'm tempted to give it a try, but what's its killer features compared to Xcode? If refactoring works with ObjC++ that'd be a great start; worth EUR23 alone.
I am still waiting for it to go multi-platform.

#149Do these have Emacs key bindings? I primarily code in Ruby and Javascript, should I buy those individually or get IDEA and find plugins?

#150The contract I'm on doesn't have an escape clause for apocalypses, so I'm gonna need that software soon.
