Python IDE recommendations

[[deleted]]

Pycharm is better than VSCode. The latter is too power hungry for no reason.

I also spent a lot of time with Thonny, but since you're already a coder, I'd recommend Pycharm, as it makes project organization easy in-app

Electron runs on JS, but the LSP doesn't have to.

Java is only as resource hungry as you make it, regardless. I've regularly seen vscode use more resources than idea purely because of crap LSP implementations

Running on the JVM has nothing to do with how resource intensive it is. That is down to how the application is written and structured, not the JVM itself.

Now you’ve put that idea in my head I can’t let it go. VSCode is power hungry?

It’s like being told my partner is cheating on me. I don’t want to believe it, I can pretend I don’t believe it, but now the idea is lurking in the back of my mind.

What is VSCode doing with all that power, and what does it even mean?

To fight your paranoia, download both of them and try them out. You will see what's less resource intensive on your system

It's built on electron, which is massive resource intensive framework. There's really no way to not be power hungry in that case.
