I think for Python it's fine enough. I personally use PyCharm when performance isn't as much of a concern. You could give Anaconda a try:

Though when I did Python I used one of the PEP8 plugins and the enhanced autocomplete plugin (soo highly recommend it).

A bit dated but some of those plugins are definitely worth it, especially Git Gutter.

PyCharm is crazy slow for me, I find I don't need 3/4 of the features in it.

Personally used to the "slowness" of PyCharm, still think it's fast enough and doesn't get in my way too much. If I'm on a system that can't handle a full blown IDE something like Emacs w/ Spacemacs or Sublime Text 3 works for me. I'm not totally married to my tools, though I do use JetBrains software as much as I can. PyCharm has debugging tools and other things which I find useful, though I do agree, it does seem a bit overwhelming at first.
