Marcus, yes it's very similar to the tools you have for debugging in visual studio. And it's just as useful for developing externally to Maya, you can run your code directly from pycharm or Python Tools for VS in debug mode.
Another neat thing about pycharm that I don't think sublime has is that you can specify the datatype for arguments and return-type in the docstring or with one-line comments in instances where it can't figure out the type itself. It enhances the code completion quite a bit. Sorry for sounding like a salesman :p I've never used pdb directly but that looks interesting.
