Overall Satisfaction with PyCharm

Pycharm is an excellent IDE for python programming used across the company. It helps programmers to write robust python code rapidly. It has a plethora of unique and useful features that set it apart from competitors and make it an irreplaceable part of a python coders' set of tools.
  • Auto code-complete suggestions are very useful.
  • Debugging breakpoints enable quick debug.
  • integrated python interpreter allows one to test code immediately.
  • The IDE project environment setup is not intuitive and can be difficult for a naive user.
  • It does not have good integration with Jupyter notebooks.
  • The integrated python interpreter runs in a virtual environment which needs to be maintained separately when using new imports .
  • Pycharm is great for managing big projects that span across multiple files and directories.
  • It also has integrated features like built-in support for github etc. which can be very beneficial for large teams collaborating on a project.
  • The UI is intuitive and easy to pickup for any developer who has worked in other IDEs. Thus, learning curve is not too steep for most developers.
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 huge time saver and results in quick development.
Pycharm's website has many tutorial videos that walk you through entire setup and makes you comfortabe by showing various scenarios that any developer will encounter. Their forums are active and so is their customer support. There is an active user-base and many features are added as it in constant development and upgradation.

It is very well suited for Python projects with multiple files and folders, and it has a built-in project explorer and the whole environment is project oriented. It is not recommended for single file projects due to the project setup overhead.
