I bought Komodo 9 fairly recently, soon enough that they gave me a free license to 10. My situation is a little unique though:

- 99% of my development is done through a remote connection, almost always SFTP, as opposed to local

- Most of it is PHP, with some Node and other general web dev

- I had previously been using Gedit and felt like trying an IDE as I do every so often

Komodo got a number of things right:

- It works on Linux with no problems that I've noticed

- It's not Java-based, so there's no massive memory usage or random slowdown due to garbage collection

- Excellent PHP and JavaScript support with parameter autocorrelation

- Good enough remote development support (many other IDEs are lacking here)

- Xdebug support (and supports other languages for step through debugging)

- Fairly cheap as IDEs go, at $147 for a personal license

Might be worth the trial if you're looking for something new.

Have you considered using SSHFS? I too do most of my development on remote systems. Once I discovered SSHFS it was great because I was able to use any IDE of my choice and I wasn't just stuck with those that offered remote development support. Since it sounds like you run linux it should be no problem to get running. I haven't tried it on Windows but from what I understand it works there too.

I've tried it a couple of times... it introduced a fair bit of lag that I didn't see with other solutions. Not sure why.

Do you regularly use sftp? Is it just a matter of filling in the sftp credentials and editing? Or does it need to do a whole lot of indexing (like phpstorm)?

Could have done this for free with Emacs and TRAMP...

> I want a Python IDE I use PyCharm, which I bought a license for.

I am 100% on-board with giving JetBrains money, because their projects are amazing, however, I wanted to remind folks that PyCharm community edition is very, very powerful and not only free but also open source under an Apache license. I build it from master every morning and consider that process quite easy if the user is familiar with ant-based build systems.

It is madness to edit Python in vi when such a fantastic tool exists, is free/libre and also even offers vi-esque keybindings.

For the Windows world -- I was pleasantly surprised that Visual Studio Community Edition does a great job of enabling Python development. Intellisense is available for all modules I installed with pip. The templates are well-written without unnecessary junk. Debugging works very well.

I haven't tried the same for non-Windows platforms, but Visual Studio Code is free and should provide similar capabilities for OS-X and Linux.
