Overall Satisfaction with PyCharm

PyCharm is the default IDE to use for Python development in our company. Among other IntelliJ products, this turns out to be one of the most comfortable IDEs, with excellent plugin support, tooling, and look and feel. It serves as an excellent support tool to develop any kind of Python application, from backend applications through data science scripts to Python web apps.
  • Data science scripting.
  • Frontend development based on Python.
  • Community edition is, while quite usable, far behind the paid alternative. At least a basic database support would be nice.
  • IntelliJ products are used by nearly every developer in our company, having one of the biggest impacts on our company of any software we have ever used.
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.
Honestly, community support was sufficient so far, so never had a change to contact their customer relation service.
