IntelliJ IDEA vs PyCharm: Which is best for you?

The debugger is also very good, its interface tools make it easy to track variables and analyze stack traces, helping a lot in more complex projects .

the AI assistant is nice when it works, but it often doesnt, and your code snippets/project files are aggressively truncated behind the scenes making the tool much less useful for anything other than very narrow prompts lacking context

It has built-in support for Git, Docker, Jupiter Notebooks, virtual environments, and databases, making it a great all-in-one tool

It's resource-heavy, slow on old Windows.
