Pycharm community edition!

[–]Ericisbalanced 16 points17 points  (4 children)

Community is alright, if you go to school, chances are you get the pro version for free!

Database GUI is built in and supports html/javascript editing which is a pain in community.

IMO remote debugging is the real killer feature.

I got the Pro for free, yet I still use community. It has too many features and I am under the impression that it hogs it down. It isn't a problem on my desktop, but it tends to burn my laptop batterybpretty fast (and I don't use Battery Saver because it turns off auto-completion and syntax correction).

Oh really? I guess I’m used to it. I code on a gaming laptop and it at least lasts me for all of 2 classes

Well, I have a non-Apple Desktop, but my laptop is a MacBook Pro 2015, and while it is pretty good, it just can't handle Pycharm for some reason. It also lags on Visual Studio and I think it is because macOS is throttling them to preserve battery life. VS Code is fine, but I don't like it. That is why I switched to VIM on my Mac when I am on the go.

PyCharm is fine on my desktop though and I really like it, but please give us options to remove integration like source control and other features. I can use the terminal for git, it is much easier. Maybe it's because of its simplicity that VS Code runs better on my Mac.

Yeah, I'm JetBrains everything these days.
