Unless their aim was to just create hype and not actually do much sale, it's extremely badly planned execution. Their site (shopping cart actually) has been down for nearly 4 hrs now.

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.

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…

Avid PyCharm user and JetBrains supporter here.

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.

PyCharm made coding fun again for me, its that good.

Ugh. I tried adding a product to the cart and got a "Some JetBrains services are currently down for scheduled maintenance. We'll be back online shortly. Thanks for your patience." page. Someone chose a really bad time for scheduled maintenance... I'm doubting it was scheduled. Hope they get this resolved soon.

Working on it. Sorry about this.

I'm not sure if you guys blog, but i'd love to see what kind of spike in sales this drove... you know assuming the world didn't end.

I trust you that it's just bad planning, been waiting for hours with my CC in hand.

Judging 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.

That will probably never happen. The tool is geared around iOS and Mac development. You have to have Apple's SDK, on a Mac running OS X (which is the only 'legal' way). You'd never be able to compile or run the code.
