I was skeptical at first, but I gave it a chance for a few days and was convinced.
The killer PyDev feature for me is pylint integration. Being informed immediately when you mistype a variable name is a big timesaver. Also nice is the refactoring support (although this it is possible to integrate BicycleRepairMan! with Emacs, I found it easier to use in Eclipse). I still find the Eclipse editor awkward for some things that are easy in Emacs (Emacs is in my fingers), so I occasionally switch back to Emacs for a quick edit. Eclipse performance is not a problem for me, but I have a beefy box. Enjoy, Aaron Bingham -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
