> a feature PyCharm doesn't already have

It's free.

I'm sure there are a lot of Python developers who already have a full-featured IDE they love, but then there are also people (like me) who sometimes write Python and just use Sublime Text or Vim. Or even Eclipse.

JetBrains released a free community version:

They also provide a free 1 year educational license for all of their products to students.

As well as discounts if you're a student. IIRC I paid like 25$/year when I was still a student. Easy money to pay with such an awesome product!

Is there any difference in the code completion for the professional and the community edition. I tried out both and it seemed like some of the code completions only work with the professional edition. Just want to know if this is a bug or a feature :)

As an Eclipse / Aptana user, can I ask what you think is so bad about it, and what I would benefit from changing?

I see plenty of minor issues (mainly in setting up the dev environment), but for most things its good enough. I know it reasonably well, and it has plugins for Perl and SQL which is a nice benefit.
