Yes, test some, and choose one.
[personnaly, I use Notepad++ on Windows, and Kate on Linux, just
editors, not IDEs]

...its a Wiki... click the right link and update it:

Its difficult, apart from their stability (which can get better or bad
on the time, upen their evolution and the evolution of the libraries
they use), its a large part of personnal taste.

IMHO you can only have functionnal comparison of such tools. I started a
synthesis page of editors/IDEs functionnalities in the pythonfr wiki
(french) some (long) time ago...

http://wikipython.flibuste.net/moin.py/EditeursEtIDESynthese

But a Wiki form seem to not be the best way for such comparison... a
dynamic page with a database and some dynamic request would be better.

A+
