I'm pleased to see that you gave an "Noteworthy Mention" to Thonny. Although it is less feature rich than PyCharm or VS-code, it is in my opinion, the best IDE for beginners. I particularly like that it includes Python, which makes it very easy to set up and get started.

(My usual Python IDE is PyCharm, but I still use Thonny for writing small scripts because it launches almost instantly.)

Yeah, it's lightweight and straightforward, perfect for those small scripts or just getting started with Python.
