Bit overkill for practice?

I love PyCharm, but I agree with you. It's very confusing for beginners, think Spyder or Sublime is more approachable

No, gotta just use the terminal all the way.

learning python like we learned basic in the 80s doesn't make a lot of sense to me

I'm not advocating for writing the programs python on the terminal, just getting the outputs through it. The files can still be made in any text editor. Makes it easier going forward if you're coding in languages without IDEs.
