[portland] Recommendation for GUI environment on Ubuntu 12.04 with Gnome fallback

[Christopher Hiller]

I’ve used PyCharm exclusively for a few years now and it’s amazing (great for full-stack JS too).  JetBrains really knows how to make an IDE.

I would also take a serious look at PyCharm from JetBrains. It is an  
excellent editor with great integrations (Django, Git, etc............).  
I have run it on the last 3 LTS versions of Ubuntu (including 12.04 ).  
I think there is a free version too.
