Overall Satisfaction with PyCharm
Most of the Python Developers across my organization and Data Scientists use Pycharm as Integrated Development Environment for developing python abased applications. It has so many built-in functionalities that make developer life a lot easier.
Pros
- Very intuitive and Simple IDE for developers.
- So many plugins are available and are free to use which improves the productivity.
- Inbuilt virtual environment creation makes dependency management very easy.
- Terminal is inbuilt and again improves the productivity.
- Source control management is baked in to easily resolve any code conflicts.
Cons
- Some time add ons don't work as expected.
- It takes up lot of memory when 2 or more projects are open at the same time.
- Setting up proxies is not straight forward.
- Most of the features in paid version are now available in VS code for free.
- Productivity increase of python developers.
- Powerful and intuitive IDE with excellent add ons.
- Seamless experience while developing code.
- Definitely positive ROI but hard to quantify.
- Developers are super happy that the organization offers paid version with all the features baked in.
PyCharm for now is the best IDE for Python developers but VS code is quickly catching up.
