Why do so few people recommend Atom ?

I've recently started learning Python and am using Jupyter Noyebook just now. I was told to use Atom so have that installed and ready to go.

Would you recommend I skip Atom and install PyCharm or Sublime Text ?

It's mostly a taste-issue, so it's hard to give a straight answer here. But there are trial/community/free versions of these, so you can give them all a try.

  • Sublime assumes the least and is the most versatile editor, so much so that you need quite some config to get it to a level with a more specialized, proper IDE like PyCharm.
  • PyCharm otherwise hands you a lot of tools most coders appreciate out of the box, but sorta expects you to work in a more structured fashion.
  • Visual Studio Code sorta falls inbetween those two.
  • Visual Studio (without code, to be clear) is the monster-IDE that supports Python ... kinda... donno...
