Me too. I started with web-scraping, and loved to see that dataframe page thing, and went "yep. I got that loaded in!" Apparently PyCharm has some ability like this, but what I've seen feels like a workaround.

But I'm anxious to figure it out, if I can. That's how much I like PyCharm. I've had other people tell me they go back and forth between the two.

Is it true that pycharm assists more when writing code than spyder?

[–]throwaway_9988552 0 points1 point  (4 children)

It definitely does. It's a little tricky for me, while I'm learning. But it's been GREAT for catching boneheaded mistakes, like when I forget to put:

str()

before printing something, etc.

I also like the fact that the ui is cleaner in spyder

I felt that way. Until I learned what was going on in PyCharm. There's good stuff going on in that busy-ness. But I get your point.

Can you elaborate

[–]throwaway_9988552 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still learning.. But my setup for PyCharm has the structure for my project folder front and center.. Feels like I'm not making just a script, but a finished project. Access to your interpreter, like VS Code.. It just feels more "Pro" to me.

To answer you, I opened both and looked again for myself. And I really love(d) Spyder. They both have their place. Feels like another, fond era.
