I used to use IJ for Java development (and I always found it much, much better than Eclipse), so I'm giving a shot at PyCharm from time to time, though not on a Django project. In my opinion — PyCharm isn't usable yet (then again, if it were it'd be released already), but the team is reponsive to bug reports and the IDE improves leaps and bounds with each EAP release. Refactorings are not yet at parity with Rope (which I use in Ropemacs) by a long shot and there are quite a few bugs in the intentions (IJ's suggestions) and inspections (warnings & errors IJ displays when it doesn't like your code), but as I said above things are improving fast. Plus due to its history (WebIDE, RubyMine) IJ has quite damn good HTML and JS support, which is a plus if you're doing web-based stuff (as in, coding Django templates). The only real downside is that it's a java IDE, thus even if it's (in my opinion) better than Eclipse, it still tends to be dog slow. Other than that, don't hesitate giving it a shot from time to time, it's worth it. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
