Likelihood to Recommend ReSharper is suitable for all legacy and new projects. It helps keep the code clean, short and understandable. The color codes help you quickly identify what you are looking for, and the shortcuts are the best. While Visual Studio made progress on these points on its own, it seems to me that ReSharper has a lot to offer. Today it happens to me that I can't think of another productivity tool without thinking of ReSharper first.
Read full review It's easy to create virtual environments and install packages for different projects as we may need project-specific packages for doing our experiments, also it's easy to see what changes we have made and create pull requests faster. But sometimes we want some light python editor like Jupiter notebook as PyCharm is relatively heavier, also Jupiter notebooks are a good option when we need to run remote code on local machines.
Read full review Pros It displays errors or suggestions for your code Saves time to optimize a code Faster development Read full review 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. Read full review Cons Sometimes colleagues report degraded performance Sometimes Visual Studio needs to be restarted because the code becomes out of sync with what ReSharper thinks it should be Read full review 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.

Read full review Support Rating 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
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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. Support for JSON/Shell scripts and support for Flask/Django Other tools are effective for creating isolated scripts but not for handling projects with more than two scripts.

It helps to create understandable code, so that others can continue the work without wasting time.
