That rather depends on your definition of "nice".  The only feature of
python-mode.el that I miss in python.el is the ability to run pylint from
the menu, and I'll get over that.  The feature that caused me to uninstall
python-mode.el was its bloody-minded determination to regard '_' as a word
character, something which caused me more typing that it ever saved.
