I use Intellij with the PyDev plugin as my IDE and Atom (with the script package) as my text editor. In general unless it's a really quick edit PyDev is MUCH better in the general IDE functions, like autocomplete, jump to definitions, visual breakpoint debugging, etc.. I love atom but Intellij is much better for serious dev/debugging sessions.

Yeah, that has also been my experience.

Why Intellij instead of Liclipse?

I really REALLY dislike eclipse. In fact it would nearly always be my last choice for and ide. In my experience it's slow, buggy, bloated, and in general the features that I need work FAR better in Intellij, Visual Studio, Atom, Sublime Text 2, Emacs, or VIM. I've used pretty much all of them and I would rather go back to them than use an eclipse based project.
