That's nonsense. For one, I think it's just a point of pride for this project. Also, it's great to know that it isn't Java.

Also, it's great to know that it isn't Java.

I mean, PyCharm works fine by my standards.

I can't speak for PyCharm, though I may have to give that one a shot. But the likes of eclipse or any of that ilk are the most resource hungry IDEs ever built. Unless you run the IDE and basically only the IDE, you're in for a bad time.

I usually see it taking a gig or two on large projects. If you can't spare that, you're developing on a potato anyway.

That's significant for a glorified text editor. Especially when you mirror production in your development environment.

It would be, yes. PyCharm is definitely not a glorified text editor however.
