 I think I've been too tough on Eclipse. I just gave it another go and it seems to be behaving a little less unpredictably. I'm not nearly sold on the idea though, just that I'm not totally in a veto state over it.
+===== Pros =====
+  * "Powerful"
+  * Qt support is (semi)official
+  * The Qt templates are good
+  * Support for PyQt through PyDev as well
+===== Cons =====
+  * Quirky, often frustrating UI
+    * Closing a project leaves it visible in the workspace.
+      * Opening a new workspace resets everything
+    * Changes in "perspective" can be bewildering.
+      * There's way too much going on in a perspective
+      * It's easy to change/break a perspective
+  * The integrated Qt Designer has usability issues. You can set the IDE to use the "System editor" for a file, but then it doesn't detect changes. Re-running Qmake (or possibly some other build-oriented directive) gets the changes.
+  * The debugger stops at at ''QApplication a(argc, argv);'' A break on new thread issue?
+  * You need to manually switch back to your editing perspective after debugging.
+  * PyDev is totally WTF.
+===== Thoughts =====
+If one or more of the problems above is solved (e.g., getting the debugger to stop breaking unless you explicitly add breakpoints) it may be an alternative. But given PyDev's bewilderification, probably not.
