IntelliJ IDEA vs Spyder: 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

integrated with anaconda, the user interface is very similar to R studio which makes transition smoother

It has fewer features for general programming and doesn't offer much customization.
