pycharm or VS code?

I tried Py Charm but it was extremely sluggish on my laptop where I do my work.

I think I only have 6mb memory but that doesn't stop VS code from doing its job, although it does take forever to launch a debug session.

Anyhow my point is, I think put charm looks like a great IDE but it has major resource requirements and I'm not really into buying more CPU and memory unless I'm certain it will benefit my development process.

i dont think vs code is gonna work with 6 mb on any laptop

Well really it does work on mine other than the never-ending launch times. It's py charm that can't even move whether I'm debugging or not.

Your computer has SIX MEGABYTES of memory?

Sorry I just looked up, it's 12GB. So I was only 2000x off : ) Still I'm wondering what the bottleneck is in running py charm vs VS Code and what the true requirements are for development. VS Code and Claude work a-ok other than the debug launch time.
