I thought of asking the same question, but decided to do some googling.

Found this interesting review by Guido: https://profiles.google.com/gvanrossum/posts/CGh9MoWU53V

Overall, it seems to be a great editor for doing work in Python. I have been using vim as my main code editor for C++, Python, Ruby, PHP for nearly 10 years and it is hard for me to imagine leaving vim.

But no one says you can't use PyCharm and vim together. What I mean is that, when I am sitting down to work on some code having PyCharm seems great. But when I just need to make some quick edits, then vim can be used. In the end, the results of our work is just text chunks that are in a DVCS.

I think I will give the 30-day free trial a shot to see how it works compared to my vim setup (using https://github.com/astrails/dotvim as a base for my current vim seutp btw). And I recommend you to just give it a shot and see how it works for you and your workflow.
