My experience with PyCharm has been very positive. The interface is pleasant, it is easy to open new files from the same directory, any folder can be opened as a PyCharm project and every extension can be opened, such as readmes. PyCharm has auto-saving, which is useful in case of crashes, and automatically re-opens the last project I was working on when I restart it which decreases the time taken before I can start working. The integration with GitHub makes collaborating really easy. Overall, I would recommend it, as it greatly simplifies the job of a developer and makes it pleasant.

My favourite parts of this IDE are the integration with GitHub, which is simple and immediate, with the possibility to right away download a project from a shared repository. Furthermore, the interface is pleasant, installing new packages is easy to do within the interface without the use of pip install, and now there is also the new option for collaborating live - which is promising, although I have not tried it yet. The suggestions for code completion are relevant and greatly speed up the job of writing code. Import statements are sometimes imported automatically from previous code pieces. Having a JetBrains account makes it easy to keep changes across OS and computers.

One of the least intuitive things with PyCharm is starting a virtual environment for every code that needs to be run, and making the packages available to each python file: every time a new python file is created in a new directory, the virtual environment needs to be imported from a previous instance (or re-created, but this involves re-installing the packages). It could be nice to make the virtual environment available to every file by default, such that packages are always available. In some cases, it is also hard to install the latest version, thereby an older version has to be installed. This is not beneficial.

It was a great experience for me to use Pycharm so far. I have been using this IDE for my day-to-day tasks as a data science professional. The only issue I had with it is the high RAM usage which slows down my work often.

I found its user-friendly UI self-explanatory, making it easier to navigate. It gives the flexibility to install packages, build ML models and deploy.

Too much resource hungry and consumes up a lot of RAM during use.

Overall experience is not very good but yes, For a beginner to learn and explore different software this can be an option.

The customer support is quite appreciable here, Also it has some special environment which helps in deploying some software codes.

The price for the software is quite high, Also the UI is of poor quality and very less functionalities are offered.

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.

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.

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.

Great for general Python programming

This is the de facto standard Python IDE.. it's great. There is both a free version (community) and paid (enterprise). The UI is super slick and it just helps me so much in general productivity with a lot of built in features for automatically doing things like setting up virtual environments, downloading python modules, amazing code completion.. etc. Also has great integration with git repos and pushing code easily.

Would be nice if it handled writing custom code documentation a bit better.. but this is not really a fault of pycharm but more python/python's PEP itself

Satisfactory and boosts productivity for me and people I've recommended it to

Great thing I love about PyCharm is 1. Easy to manage your virtual Environments 2. Services - Control your docker, vagrant services 3. Version Control - You can view history on any highlighted text 4. Manage your remote connections

The memory hog is one thing, but then it requires at least a 8GB ram. You can easily do a RAM upgrade

1. Simple 2. Well-integrated with CI/CD tools 3. User-friendly 4. Free to use! 5. Credible and widely-known 6. There are many forums and training out there

1. None for me. I have been using PyCharm for several months now and I have no complaints about this. I can see myself using this for the next years to come in my test automation.

I loved developing python scripts with PyCharm, it saved me a lot of time, an easy to get the hang of it due to its simple UI

What I really like about PyCharm is the ability to separate the output of the script and the debugging terminal, also the auto-complete feature is great it saved me a lot of time

It is not lightweight software, and it produces a huge amount of junk files that eats the space on your PC you will need to delete those files every week if your PC has no enough space

I particularly am using PyCharm to horn my skills in coding with the python programming language. Apart from the fact that I get to wait a long time for the software to load, and I cant multitask with other jobs on my laptop, PyCharm is really a wonderful tool for both newbies and experts to build wonderful python programs. And the fact that the Django framework is embedded makes it even better for optimal utility.

This software is quite intelligent and a wonderful masterpiece. Its pack of libraries and easy intelligent code recognition and indentation makes me always want to continue my coding practice in python.

I know PyCharm is useful in creating a GUI feel for python codes, but the product is quite heavy and resource consuming especially when running on earlier versions of Windows operating system; this makes the loading and initialization time to take long.

Never ran into major issues, it was good to use with the group for teaching and developing. Its friendly interface made everything smooth.

It's extremely user-friendly, with great UX/UI, good features, and good supporting material online. It's a very nice tool, particularly for beginners who can edit, debug, and run their code in one single platform, without having to run separate software/commands. Very easy to download and install, it didn't require major updates or anything.

I used it for about 4 months over a university term, I don't have any complaints. It was a very nice tool for the applications we were using (simple Python coding).

Overall, it was a slow text editor for me, and I wasn't able to get all of the advanced features to work well in my environment. In other environments or if one decides to spend a lot of time in the configuration, it might eventually pay off. However, I'm personally more interested in a slimmer code editor.

There are a lot of features built into PyCharm. The code completion which is like an intellisense is very handy. There are nice contextual features like jumping to a definition of a variable, method, class, etc.

All of the features makes the software bulkier and ultimately a slower experience. I also never got to use some of the more advanced features because they didn't play well with my environment. I use projects based on buildout, and although there is buildout support built in, I found it too hard to set up and work out all of the kinks, so I ended up not even using most of those advanced features.

A complete piece of software for every Python developer. If you want to ask "Does it have ..." the answer is "Yes, it probably has, but you have to find it in numerous menus and panels" I wouldn't change PyCharm for any other advanced Python IDE

That it's versatile, I'm using this software for like 2+ years and I still don't know all it's options and possibilities, well organized GUI with a lot of panels and different options to view and browse code and files

It's heavy and resource consuming. It also lacks a step-by-step guide which would show the user basic/medium/advanced features of that software. I would be able to do some tasks easier or faster if I would have known about some possibilities that I learned much later.

Amazing features in code completion, debugging, package importing, and virtual environment management.

I have developed several AI/ML applications with the help of PyCharm. Very intuitive IDE that provides easy code completion and debugging for my Python projects. I tried several other IDEs including the reference IDLE implementation but PyCharm is way ahead. Easy importing of packages for scientific computing, machine learning, client/server programming, and database connectivity. Virtual Runtime environments can also be managed very easily in the project settings.

A bit of lagging performance on Mac from time to time. I checked and this might be due to the use of several virtual python environments on my system. Not an issue as the features available makes it really appealing for long development hours in Python.

Despite of the mentioned drawback, PyCharm is my daily IDE for Python. Thanks to university account, all feature are unlocked.

PyCharm offers a ton of benefits in my daily workflow as researcher. From my experience one of its standout advantages lies in its ability to significantly enhance developer productivity and streamline the coding process. The features I like from PyCharm are: intelligent code completion, robust debugging tools, and seamless integration with version control systems.

The main drawback of PyCharm against other competitors is the resource intensive load. In my machine, PyCharm can be resource-intensive, consuming a significant amount of system memory. This might lead to slower performance when the size of project is big.

So when it comes to the Python programming language, Pycharm is the best choice considering both its great collection of features and some cons it has.

I use Pycharm most of my time for doing Python programming and I use it in both my Windows and Linux as its cross-platform. It has integration with version control, anaconda, ipython, pylint, and others which makes it easier for programmers like me. It has an intelligent code editor which enhances code readability by color schemes for keywords, functions, classes, syntax, and error highlighting. Also, it provides error identification and quick fixes for it where the error occurs. I love debugging the python code with its powerful debugger tool. I usually use the rename refactoring feature which makes my programming faster. Also, I love the autocompletion feature with the Django web framework and Flask. It has a lot of plugins and also selectable light and dark theme to switch for day and nighttime. It has integration with Git and I can run git commands in the Pycharm terminal or perform Git operations with its GUI. It has support for multiple projects so I can switch from one project easily and also good database support.

It is a great IDE with a huge collection but it needs memory more than other IDE available so it may lag sometimes. The community edition is available for free but it's only for pure python development so it would be best if its Pro version is available for a better price as it's expensive.

The fact that PyCharm is a user-friendly software and contains many features has accelerated problem solving in my business life.

I was using vscode before I started using Pycharm. Actually everything seems good. But vscode is not a IDE. Features like better debugging, code completion, remote ssh pushed me to use Pycharm. I was able to use these features with extensions. But Pycharm is a more user-friendly software to use.

I think, there is no cons about this software. I've used it for many years and never see better IDE.

There are other editors, that can be used for quick code editing, but in terms of real apps development and managing the whole environment around, PyCharm is the best tool.

Full-featured Python support: syntax highlighting, navigation thorough the code, tips and tricks. There are multiple plugins that can take experience for another level. The support for docker, Kubernetes and databases is a huge plus and gives as one tool to manage & use all the developer's environment tools.

It is pretty "big" and memory consumable, but there is a reason for that. Sometimes takes some time to launch.

Found it easy to use and helps a lot if one is learning to be a python programmer

As a python coder, its pretty much straight to the point and handy to python works and commands which mostly automatically link to code

Its a bit heavy if you have a small processor machine and consumes a lot of speed to itself slowing the machine down and even heating up the processor

PyCharm is extremely useful for Python projects. It has great number of features. In my opinion, it's the best tool out here for back end development.

The best part of PyCharm is the debugger. It works extremely easy for an interpreted language. Better than any other tool I used. Autocompletion works just fine and comes in very handy. Easy to manage different versions of Python and also has a Package Manager.

Price-wise the full bundle is very expensive. For small projects, it can take up lots of memory, thus an alternative maybe suited.

I used PyCharm for machine learning projects. I found using this IDE very useful and easy due to its more useful features I mentioned above. It was really easy to work with the IDE as I could even open CSV files inside the IDE due to its extended support. It is a great IDE to use for easy programming and the IDE makes it easier to debug the scripts as well.

I really like the ability to run small code blocks separately without having to run the whole script. It helps to test blocks of codes separately and to debug. The ability to detect unused libraries that are imported to the script is another useful feature I have noticed in PyCharm. It helps to remove unwanted yet currently imported libraries. The available different themes are also appealing and helpful. Further, PyCharm supports a wide range of plug-ins as well.

The slight disadvantage of using PyCharm is if we get used to using it, it becomes slightly difficult to adopt to another IDE in a case where we have to use another IDE. This is because PyCharm consists of lot of features, libraries and extensions by default that reduce a lot of manual task which will not be available in all other IDEs.

As you can see in my pros points I listed a lot compared to the cons, so it's justifiable that my overall experience with PyCharm is more than adequate. - Code faster and efficiently, PyCharm solved a lot of things for me, it's code completion and auto formatting is one of the best features I've encountered in an IDE.

- Full featured: from shortcut keys, code lints, test runners, auto venv creation upto docker integration, this IDE has it all to keep you up and running with python development. - Fully Customizable: Theming? This got a wide variety of "plugins" already tailored made for you, need to use another test runner? PyCharm let's you choose from unittest to PyTest no prob! - Easy to use: The learning curve is almost none existent, this got me coding in a matter of minutes, haven't used Jupiter notebook and don't feel like I need it because of this. - Intuitive: Whether your a seasoned python dev or just beginning to write your first py code, this IDE got your back, with it's auto formatting using `Reformat file` feature, clean code is in the tip of fingers. - Affordable: You can go for the community version (which is more than enough for me) and btw it's FREE

- Takes quite an amount of memory: Yeah a bit RAM hungry, but if your a software dev, and rocking a minimum 2017 Macbook Pro, or a Dell XPS you SHOULD have an ample amount already so that won't be too much drama for you.

It has everything and more. If it doesn’t, there are plugins. Constantly updated. Stable.

I don’t really have any cons. If I am being nit picky, some things can be a little more intuitive.

My overal experience with PyCharm is excellent. It's not easy to find a IDE which is directly focused on Python.

I am frequently writing Python code for manipulating the Linux environments. Pycharm is specialized in Python and helps a lot with the Python code. It has very simple and powerful UI for developing Python scripts.

PyCharm has a lot of plugins that helps Python development. I'd be very happy if they add more plugins.

PyCharm is a great software to gain a complete experience you will have to deal with the complex interface but you will get used to it, after that you will notice the difference it will help you speeding up your development optimize your code and much more.

PyCharm packs all required and important features such as building, testing and debugging the code, also provide analytical tools that really helps to optimize the code, git integration and much more.

first of all it uses a lot of resources especially the RAM, secondary the complex interface.
