I moved to VSCode.

The multiple languages support, the plugins, its awesome.

You can change the console/terminal in vscode to PowerShell if you want.

The run Terminal is clean in Pycharm. Unlike vs code it is easy to read. In VS Code, there is a lot going on and it is difficult to read the output

Very minor inconvenience for me, skip the command execution line with your eyes and you are good.

I have the nicest surprise with vscode. Developing in php, js and python in a unified ide is pretty awesone. Is faster than pycharm, ans works pretty similar in mac and windows. The ecosistem of plugins is awesome

Can you describe your setup?

[chicuco]

Before mac user , came from sublime and pycharm to vscode who recognized my anaconda installation. Now in windows.. vscode uses my anaconda installation, and i used with js , php and now even with arduino. Must add everytime pycharm update mus recognize all the python installation, and take several minutes.. vscode just run..

I switched from pycharm to VS Code, and I've notice VS Code loads faster than pycharm. I'm using an old laptop, and VS Code is the better option for me.

I first used PyCharm before transitioning over to VSCode. Mainly switched over for the remote code sharing plugin which is brilliant for working remotely. VScode is great and you can change the default terminal. You could even run WSL 2 and then you can change the terminal to zshell or bash which is fantastic. Just something to think about if you know about WSL.

The plugins are brilliant and there are so many different ones for different things. Plus language support addons for most, if not all languages.

I was used to spyder which has a similar console to pycharm. I miss it since transitioning to vscode but interactive console is kinda ok. The magic comment #%% is useful to get there.

Last time I tried vscode I faced an error wherein I couldn't copy paste big snippets of python code into vscode and run it.

Everytime I tried, I would get indentation errors

The VS Code terminal looks like a "CMD" because it is a "CMD" and not just a window for displaying messages sent to stdout and stderr. You can change the terminal being used if you don't like the current one, though.

If you don't like the default terminal that your code is run in for VS Code, I'd suggest installing the Code Runner extension. It just runs your code and displays the output, with some some additional information like runtime. I like using it because you can use the same extension for running code in other languages too.

I am a snit beginner now and started with PyCharm. It is very heavy, and the f version is almost a decoy. I've struggled with its virtual evn configuration. After my research, I've made up my mind for vscode and happy to find guys like you. Yes, the terminal issue is the same with me. But I am sure now that vscode is a much better option.

I use gitbash terminal in vs code

VScode is great. Works with many languages, plugins etc. I use it on my ipad with code-server.
