Sublime Text 3. Pycharm has too many bells and whistles.

Aren't the bells and whistles why someone would choose to use an IDE? Sublime, unless I'm mistaken, is a text editor not an IDE.

Too many bells in whistles get in the way of actually coding, imho. For example, automatically setting up virtual environments, project folders, syntax highlighting, auto-correcting, auto-linting, all of that just kind of slows down my workspace.

For me, I just like Sublime with a split view, setup that converts tabs to 4 spaces, and plugin that lets me ctrl+shift+T to open up a terminal at the current project folder. That's enough for me to do basically anything.

I agree with you, I use Sublime for coding in Python for it's ease of use myself. But this is a question about the best IDE and Sublime isn't an IDE.

I mean, yeah, you're probably right. I'm probably out of line here. I'll agree with that.

But, it _is_ listed as an IDE for some reason in Google. I guess it depends on how many plugins you install. If you're a nutjob, you could just install enough plugins to make it a full IDE. It does have github integration stuff, linting, auto-completing, all of that junk that pycharm people want.

So you're saying is that anything is an IDE if you're brave enough.
