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.
  • 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.
  • 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.

It improves the productivity of developers when writing code for application development. The tool is intuitive and is packed with very powerful features that makes developer life so easy. Many available themes and colors make it perfect to distinguish small nuances of code. It clearly shows errors and helps fix those with recommendations. Lot of add ons again make it perfect for python developers.
Improveme[n]ts:
Free version has most of the features but not all. VS code is free and offers more features.
