PyCharm vs. Pytorch

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.

They have created Pytorch Lightening on top of Pytorch to make the life of Data Scientists easy so that they can use complex models they need with just a few lines of code, so it's becoming popular. As compared to TensorFlow(Keras), where we can create custom neural networks by just adding layers, it's slightly complicated in Pytorch.

• 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.

• Provides Benchmark datasets to test your custom algorithm
• Provides with a lot of pre-coded neural net components to use for your flow
• Gives a framework to write really abstract code.

• 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.

Incentivized

• Distributed data parallel still seems to be complicated
• Support for easy deployment to servers
• Torchvision to have support for latest models with pertained weights

It's perfect for our needs, cuts development time, is really helpful for newbies to understand projects structure

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

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.

As I described in previous statements, Pytorch is much better suited than TensorFlow from a software development look. This Pythonic idea was then taken and repeated by all the other frameworks. You can get to better performance models by better understanding the deep learning model code, so I think the choice of Pytorch is easy and simple.

• Buying the licensed pro version is a bit costly, but overall because of its features and its speed, the time taken by a developer to develop something can be improved. Indirectly getting a good return of Investment.
• Considering the team size and its features, one can go for the licensed version as the ROI is high.
• Customer support is also good for a licensed version, thereby saving the time, which in turn shows ROI as high.

• I'd estimate I can build a model 50% faster on pytorch vs other frameworks
