PyCharm uses the same foundations for non-Python files as Intelli J. I think 
that's one thing that PyCharm does quite a bit better than, say, WingIDE. 
Support for HTML, CSS and Javascript are all excellent, and several templating 
engines' files are also supported. Even CoffeeScript is well-supported. In my 
view, PyCharm has surpassed Wing as the best IDE for Python. (I do love Sublime 
though.)
