This is JetBrains' gift to software engineers and Developers around the world !

My overall experience has been great thus far. I believe I will continue to use it in my professional career. I would absolutely recommend this product for any software engineer, machine learning engineer or even a data scientist who wants to do some scripting work.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

I have been using this IDE for a short time now. I must say it extremely amazing. I love how convenient and easy it is to use. The layout is fantastic. Having everything present in a single place like that definitely makes my life much easier as an engineer .The code editing tools are amazing, the code improvement recommendation system that they have is definitely a plus to have, sometimes the IDE recommends me to do certain actions I would have never have thought of on my own. Also it helps finish my code blocks automatically which is great. I also like how I could split the screen multiple parts fairly easily for code review. I could go on and on. I would definitely recommend Pycharm or any JetBrains product for that matter. They work incredibly hard and it shows in their work. In short Pycharm is awesome and I recommend you start using it.

Cons:

I don't have any major critiques of the IDE but I would say perhaps having a co-pilot would be an incredible improvement to make it an even better IDE. Other than that I have no issues with it.

Reasons for switching to PyCharm

I feel like Pycharm is more suited for development and Spyder is more suited for data science work.

Best integrated environment for coding with python

I would say it is among the best IDEs have ever used to code python. It is easy to install and indeed I would like people to use it if you want not only to learn python from beginner level to pro level but also if you want to develop good and projects using python.

Pros:

First of all installation of PyCharm is easy, you don't to have expertise to use it. Another thing I like about it is the error removal ability. PyCharm enables you as the user to identify errors easily as you code thereby you can make correct changes easily and faster. One can easily integrate it easily with GitHub, using the push component it is easily for one to update his code in GitHub account. Lastly is the plugins it has, it enables one to code in different languages as compared to other integrated development environment.

Cons:

First what I dislike about this software is its hanging feature, incase your computer's speed and RAM is low then you are likely to have difficulty coding with this IDE. Though it can be used in various environments or programming languages, it will be difficult for an illiterate person to use or interact with it. I don't have much negative about this software since have not used it for a long time but I would prefer to use the pro version since it has more features and tools but it is relatively much expensive.

Reasons for choosing PyCharm

It is integrated with many components thereby enabling one to use it with different frameworks or environments.

My opinion on PyCharm after 3 years

I quite like the overall experience, I think is a very mature tool and I have suggested it to all my colleagues working with Python Django.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Functionality

Pros:

What I do really like about PyCharm is the search features. I think they are really useful and work great!

Cons:

Would be nice when working on a Django project have directly the HTML markdown syntax highlighting for Django templating language. Also I would really love to have the git annotate function as in VS code (instead of having a sidebar having a comment like line whit the git author on the highlighted line). Sometimes I had trouble with the Python interpreter going crazy and had to reset it. Also the markdown syntax highlighting for .MD files is superheavy and the computer slows down

Reasons for switching to PyCharm

One of my senior colleagues suggested me to use it and after using it I loved it

Convenient and Efficient

The overall experience has been pretty good and it was really easy to get used to the software when I started using it. All the features - code completion, project-specific interpreter, debugger, etc. have been really helpful and enhanced my coding experience in a positive manner

Functionality

Pros:

The code completion feature, the ability to create a different virtual environment for every project that I make on the application so that I don't have to upgrade or downgrade my libraries without reason, the seamless integration with Github and the interface of the debugger is really great.

Cons:

Nothing significant, I think it's probably the fact that I am too used to its code completion feature and find trouble adjusting to other IDE's whenever I have to switch. Its startup time could be improved.

Reasons for switching to PyCharm

I think the features in PyCharm are a lot more accessible as compared to Sublime Text, and it just makes my life much easier. Also, the fact that GUI programming while using Qt could be integrated into the IDE and I didn't need to use the external QML interface was great.

Pros:

Pycharm's code assistance features make it invaluable, particularly if you're learning to code. I've been using it for 5 years since I started learning Python, and still use it now for all my product development. It's constantly being updated and improved.

Cons:

Subscription fees aren't cheap, but the time the save while developing make it well worth the cost.

Reasons for switching to PyCharm

I wanted something that could help with code completion, finding usages, easier setup of venvs etc.

The Ultimate IDE for Python

I've tried different IDEs in my Python journey, but PyCharm was an ultimate tool for my every need. The user interface is very convenient, you can debug your code easily using the colored keywords. There are so many settings and changes you can implement to adapt the software for your specific needs. I think JetBrains did a really great job for creating ultimate IDEs for every need.

Pros:

PyCharm every aspect is absolutely great. One of the biggest advantages of it is that you can install Python Packages directly to your project, so they are not mixed with other projects you are working on.

Cons:

One major thing I miss in PyCharm is that the community edition doesn't include tools for Data Science (Jupyter-type experience).
