I have been using PyCharm for few months after using Sublime Text 2 for years. It is very well engineered tool and has greatly improved my code quality.

Just came to know 'Python code compatibility checks' option. Will definitely be helpful as I am starting to write Python 2/3 compatible code.

PyCharm was the reason I started coding in Python. I know it sounds weird, but I was a visual studio addict & going to sublime text or a plain text editor just didn't compare.

I wish they had a "startup" package so even boots trappers can get started right.

Well, there's the 'Community Edition'. Unless you're heavily into WebDev, it's great.

An IDE will never help you develop "Clean, Professional, Maintainable, [and] Quality" code if you're not interested in writing it in the first place. And if you're interested in writing good code in the first place, an IDE is hardly a requirement.

Frankly, as a developer who has tried a number of IDE's and text editors, I'm not sold on the idea that your choice of editing environment has any correlation to any of those titular descriptors in the first place.

However, I think great IDE will help OTHER people to maintenance and refactor code to clean, professional, and maintainable one.

I always use IDE to refactor code, as other developers might not writing clean code, even myself.

You could also stay at your day job for a day or two longer and save up for the $99 personal edition.
