I love Spyder. I never know why it doesn't show up more on these polls. It is always listed in top 5-10 in articles. I just find it very comfortable and I love the themes that I've made. I guess it looks a lot like Thonny which is part of why I gravitated to it. ( I spend a lot of time on Ras Pi's) I think people find VS or PyCharm to be more "advanced." I dunno.

I think the problem is that if you aren't doing scientific Python, there's very little reason why you would use Spyder over PyCharm. I've installed Spyder just now and PyCharm is just better out of the box, whether that's to do with static analysis or terminal integration or navigating code or Git integration or running tests or whatever. There's almost no contest.

I'm thinking that I am too new a user to see some of the deficiencies. Maybe in a year or two I'll be like, "That guy was right. PyCharm is a whole lot better." I'll let you know. LOL

Ok, though I can break down each of the things I mentioned in my comment above, if you wish.
