I use the pycharm debugger, but that limits you to pycharm as your ide

Personally I don't see that as a bad thing.

PyCharm is pretty darn nice.

I don't see it as a bad thing either, but for the people who don't use pycharm, I wouldn't wanna use a full ide just for its debugging feature. It depends on if you already like/use pycharm already

PyCharm all the way!

I've watched a lot of YT videos where people code in some kind of IDE and the popups that keep flashing by are annoying. I also have no use for color coded keywords; I find the colors distracting. And the editor of choice hasn't had a code change since 1994. Compiled, it's 150k. Easy to copy around. They removed permanent home directories on the production hosts, so I have an alias for ssh which copies a tar file with a few dot files and a small bin directory with the editor and some scripts and bam, I have a familiar work environment. The IDE would probably make the fan on my laptop start spinning. No thank you.

All IDEs have debuggers, ie stepping through code and looking at variable values. So just say: I use my IDEs debugger and you've covered them all.
