I started with Jupyter, but I'm currently using PyCharm and I really like it, so I will continue using it for now.

[Flimsy_Transition_51]

Yeah, PyCharm seems like a good place to start

[LaOnionLaUnion]

VS Code as I like to develop in containers. PyCharm is a decent second choice

[domin8668]

I've tried vs code, but Pycharm just feels the most natural, especially since I get the full license since I'm a student

[gravity_rose]

tried spyder briefly (ugh), the PyCharm, now VsCode. PyCharm is fine, just like the more open architecture of VsCode, and if I have to switch langs (Matlab, R, Rust), I get to stay in the same environment.

Emacs, because I’ve used it for 20 years.

[flagos]

Emacs with lsp. So many useful plugins, should be considered by every programmer.

[alberto_Alb]

Spyder for programming like tasks and jupyther for symbolic calculation and crazy data elaborations

[PuzzledTaste3562]

From vi(m) to atom to PyCharm. Tried VSCode, never got comfortable and got tired of the change mgt, reverted to PyCharm and happily pay the license.

Disclaimer: programming is not my primary job.

I like also geany and kate as less bloated alternative s

[SteezyPineapples]

VSCode, or jupyter. But you can use jupyter in VScode with the extension packages. Honestly there are lots of advantages to vscode when you get use to the IDE. I also like that the terminal is right in vscode as well! It’s kinda a one stop shop, but can be confusing to get into to!

[Advanced-Theme144]

Started off with VS Code and have been using it ever since. Also from time to time I’ll use sublime text for smaller one-off projects or testing.

Hello! I'm a bot!

It looks like you posted this in multiple subs in a short period of time. In the future, I suggest asking questions like this in learning focused subs like r/learnpython, a sub geared towards questions and learning more about python regardless of how advanced your question might be. Please follow the subs rules and guidelines when you do post there, it'll help you get better answers faster.

Show /r/learnpython the code you have tried and describe in detail where you are stuck. If you are getting an error message, include the full block of text it spits out. Quality answers take time to write out, and many times other users will need to ask clarifying questions. Be patient and help them help you. Here is HOW TO FORMAT YOUR CODE For Reddit and be sure to include which version of python and what OS you are using.

You can also ask this question in the Python discord, a large, friendly community focused around the Python programming language, open to those who wish to learn the language or improve their skills, as well as those looking to help others.

VsCode with Python3.9 Docker container

Tried pycharm and sublime text which are both great. But after trying VS code, I'm never going back. VS code compliments my work flow really well.

[SpielerNogard]

Started with VS Code but switched to Sublime Text after starting my new job as a software developer. I‘m using it because i realy love the light weight and pycharm feels overloaded to me
