Chose Eclipse
I have used PyCharm for projects that were implemented in Python and I have also used IDEs like notepad++ which are more generic in nature. The reason that I choose Eclipse is mostly because it is Java specific unlike PyCharm which is Python specific. Using Eclipse or not using …
Chose Eclipse
For no license, Eclipse is a very good start. IntelliJ has much greater support and tools for many things like connecting to all kinds of databases and SaaS platform such as Salesforce. Code refactoring is also very cool on IntelliJ compared to Eclipse. For Python and Django …

As previously said, Eclipse is one of the most complete and useful tools for Java development. And as a plus, it's open-source and free, so you won't beat that price-quality relation. When starting with Java projects, you won't fail with Eclipse. But, if you are getting into …
Chose Eclipse
These are all very similar in what they can do, and so they all stack up very similarly. I personally have found that Eclipse did a little bit better when it came to programming with java and so that is why we went with it for the classes coding in Java.
Chose Eclipse
Eclipse used to be the defacto standard for code development. But in recent years, as it has started focusing on its other products, like Orion and Che, it's core IDE (with focus on the 'I'), has seen a slowdown in its prominence. It cannot be compared to just the massive …
Chose Eclipse
Eclipse is the best IDE on the market for Java development. It has great error and warning handling, and many integrations with useful tools - debugger, sonarqube (static code analysis), Maven / Gradle / Ant, Tomcat / Wildfly / JBoss (web servers). The best part of eclipse is …
Chose Eclipse
I used IDEA prior to using Eclipse. I loved how easy I can debug in both, but the debugging feature in IDEA is just way more polished then Eclipse. Other than that, Eclipse was easy to setup and start with.
Chose Eclipse
NetBeans is the closest competitor I've found to Eclipse for Java development. IntelliJ IDEA is good as well but it isn't free. NetBeans is a free competitor that has split the Java community, and a lot of it comes down to preference, like the famous vim vs. emacs wars. I would …
PyCharm
Chose PyCharm
I needed a Python dedicated solution Pycharm is the best suited, giving no hassle in setting up and providing an off the shelf solution for python development. Using Eclipse is cumbersome, some additional plugins must be installed and configured
Chose PyCharm
Eclipse is one of the commonly used alternative IDEs for Python programming language. It's a matter of preference whether to choose PyCharm or Eclipse. However, there is also an IDE called Spyder which is, for example, distributed along with the Anaconda Environment. It enables …
Chose PyCharm
Eclipse was a bit boggy compared to using PyCharm. Eclipse has way more features for product and we wanted something more tuned for Python programming. We never turned back once we started using PyCharm.

PyCharm is the best IDE for python development. PyCharm offers various features: source code completion, support for unit testing, integration with Docker/GitLab/Git, ability to manage and configure virtual environments, auto-indentation, and re-factoring code with ease. …
Chose PyCharm
What differentiates PyCharm from other products is that it is built for a particular language (Python) and works great while doing it, without losing efficiency with the rest of languages. It's simple, easy to use, fast and efficient, what else could you need?
Chose PyCharm
Simply one of the best IDE's of our time. It has a lot of features, a big user base, and a professional developer team behind it. It simply surpasses most of its competitors, as there are not too many Python-specialized IDEs anyway.

There are many other good editors are there in market but PyCharm has great support for Python and Python frameworks because its designed for Python.

PyCharm is the best tool to switch between different projects. One can connect to various technologies at a time. Package and plugin installation is easy. Dark and light mode helps in working according to the mood. One can extend it to IntelliJ, depending on the need for custom …
Chose PyCharm
PyCharm has a dark theme which is cool and more helpful tips while coding. It has more powerful navigation in XML and code.
Chose PyCharm
I've used Sublime, VSCode, Wing IDE, Visual Studio, IntelliJ, WebStorm. For Java development, Intellij is best - being built by the same company as PyCharm it provides a helpful familiarity. The same can be said for WebStorm, although more lightweight IDEs are usually …
Chose PyCharm
Debugging, code execution, package installation, standard following, and giving hints for better and more efficient code. All of these are my observations and differences between the two.
Chose PyCharm
PyCharm has all the features that ACIM software has, such as version control, real-time coding correction, misuse, and documentation. Now what has determined is the integration of this IDE with features that we would normally have to perform in external applications like BD …
Chose PyCharm
All other IDEs do not have as many tools and practicalities as PyCharm has. To run code or manage your virtual environments sometimes you need to have multiple terminals or other applications open, when with PyCharm all this integration is present in itself.
Chose PyCharm
Pycharm works great for multi-file projects that span across directories thanks to its intuitive UI and easy navigation. It has many integrated features like built-in support for github etc. that let users do multiple related tasks from within the IDE itself. This acts as a …
Chose PyCharm
Compared to bare bones editors like Sublime and Notepad++, Pycharm is a full-service IDE with all the bells and whistles that makes python coding easy and convenient. There is no need to use the terminal or Mac finder to navigate to different files or use CMD+F to find where a …
Chose PyCharm
PyCharm is the only Python IDE I've used - all my prior experience was with text editors like Sublime, Notepad++, Atom, etc. The only other IDE I've used is RStudio, which has been fairly limited to small, individual projects. PyCharm's capabilities, stability, …
Chose PyCharm
Best user experience. While the JavaVM is a heavy hit on resources, it is worth it because of the sheer amount of functionality.
Community/Free/Educational version easily available.
Excellent Git support.
Sublime Text
Chose Sublime Text
Sublime Text is powerful, stable, versatile, and lightweight. It's also very affordable, with straightforward licensing terms. Many of the other options that we explored met some of these qualifications, but only Sublime Text checks all of those boxes. For example, NetBeans and …
Chose Sublime Text
Visual Studio Code was honestly a tough competitor to Sublime for multi-language projects, and ultimately edged it out for some of the teams I worked with. It's library functionality was far superior, it is 100% open source vs ads, and it has a similar speed. PyCharm and WebStor…
Chose Sublime Text
More reliable and intuitive than TextMate or Atom and more feature-filled than an Emacs. The colors/syntax highlighting is superior.
Chose Sublime Text
Sublime text stacks up very well against other text editors as it is lightweight, is very well established and has a large user base, and has a number of plugins that allow for customization. Depending on the language being used, there may be an editor that is more suited for …

Sublime Text has the cleanest and best UI features such as code snippet window etc.. It has pre-defined intuitive keyboard shortcuts which are easy to understand and use. It also offers support for multiple languages.
Chose Sublime Text
I have used just about every text editor there is that is free or has a free trial to evaluate. Text editors are very important to me as a software developer and over the years, I've made it a point to try out a great many of them. I do love Sublime Text Editor on Windows. And …

I think that if someone asked me for an IDE for Java programming, I would definitely recommend Eclipse as is one of the most complete solutions for this language out there. If the main programming language of that person is not Java, I don't think Eclipse would suit his needs[.]

PyCharm is well suited to developing and deploying Python applications in the cloud using Kubernetes or serverless pipelines. The integration with GitLab is great; merges and rebates are easily done and help the developer move quickly. The search engine that allows you to search inside your code is also great. It is less appropriate for other languages.

My CMS has a small window in which I can edit custom HTML/CSS. It can be expanded some, but not as much as I would like. It also displays all code as dark text on a white background. On a page where I am doing extensive custom coding, it is helpful to see it in a larger window and in a color-coded display so that I don't have to strain my eyes as hard. Especially when I'm trying to scan for specific elements and target issues and so that I don't have to scroll endlessly in a tiny window.

  • Git integration is really essential as it allows anyone to visually see the local and remote changes, compare revisions without the need for complex commands.
  • Complex debugging tools are basked into the IDE. Controls like break on exception are sometimes very helpful to identify errors quickly.
  • Multiple runtimes - Python, Flask, Django, Docker are native the to IDE. This makes development and debugging and even more seamless.
  • Integrates with Jupyter and Markdown files as well. Side by side rendering and editing makes it simple to develop such files.

Cons
Open Source
  • While the DB integration is broad (many connectors) it isn't particularly deep. So if you need to do serious DB work on (for example) SQL Server, it is sometimes necessary to go directly to the SQL Server Studio. But for general access and manipulation, it is ok.
  • The syntax formatting is sometimes painful to set up and doesn't always support things well. For example, it doesn't effectively support SCSS.
  • Using it for remote debugging in a VM works pretty well, but it is difficult to set up and there is no documentation I could find to really explain how to do it. When remote debugging, the editor does not necessarily integrate the remote context. So, for example, things like Pylint don't always find the libraries in the VM and display spurious errors.
  • The debugging console is not the default, and my choice is never remembered, so every time I restart my program, it's a dialog and several clicks to get it back. The debugging console has the same contextual problems with remote debugging that the editor does.

  • The biggest complaint I have about PyCharm is that it can use a lot of RAM which slows down the computer / IDE. I use the paid version, and have otherwise found nothing to complain about the interface, utility, and capabilities.

  • Plugins are easier to use and less complicated but transferring your license to a new computer isn't as simple as it sounds.
  • Sublime has an automatic file comparison feature, but it's challenging to use and should be improved.
  • Adding the ability to mark or highlight the text with different colors would be an excellent application.

It has everything that the developer needs to do the job. Few things that I have used in my day-to-day development 1. Console output. 2. Software flash functionality supporting multiple JTAG vendors like J-LINK. 3. Debugging capabilities like having a breakpoint, looking at the assembly, looking at the memory etc. this also applies to Embedded boards. 4. Plug-in like CMake, Doxygen and PlantUML are available.

It's pretty easy to use, but if it's your first time using it, you need time to adapt. Nevertheless, it has a lot of options, and everything is pretty easy to find. The console has a lot of advantages and lets you accelerate your development from the first day.

This is a programmers tool. As such a lot of the features and benefits are lost on a non-technical user. To get the most out of the tool you need to have a basic crash course in how it works and what it can do. The documentation and community are good, but it takes a bit of time to get up to speed.

Support Rating

I gave this rating because Eclipse is an open-source free IDE therefore no support system is available as far as I know. I have to go through other sources to solve my problem which is very tough and annoying. So if you are using Eclipse then you are on your own, as a student, it is not a big issue for me but for developers it is a need.

I rate 10/10 because I have never needed a direct customer support from the JetBrains so far. Whenever and for whatever kind of problems I came across, I have been able to resolve it within the internet community, simply by Googling because turns out most of the time, it was me who lacked the proper information to use the IDE or simply make the proper configuration. I have never came across a bug in PyCharm either so it deserves 10/10 for overall support

Never had to use their customer support before. There is ample documentation online so it's straightforward to find a solution to any problem you might encounter. For example, I needed to convert a string of HTML code to a properly formatted HTML file to "modify." Easy to do when there are so many users of the product who have needed to do that same thing before.

The installation, adaptability, and ease of usage for Eclipse are pretty high and simple compared to some of the other products. Also, the fact that it is almost a plug and play once the connections are established and once a new user gets the hang of the system comes pretty handy.

When it comes to development and debugging PyCharm is better than Spyder as it provides good debugging support and top-quality code completion suggestions. Compared to Jupiter notebook it's easy to install required packages in PyCharm, also PyChram is a good option when we want to write production-grade code because it provides required suggestions.

We've used both Notepad++ and Atom; both are great but nothing really beats the Sublime Text UI; super intuitive and friendly and does everything you need without overwhelming you with stuff you don't. Other options are free, but for our organization, it was well worth the small license cost for the persistent use of a great product.
