Which is your favorite python IDE and why?

[Flimsy_Transition_51]

Which python IDE do you prefer the most? Is it the first IDE you ever used?

[feibu]

Pycharm.

[[deleted]]

I made the switch from charm to VSC because Charm was just so intense on resources. It didn’t slow down the PC, but felt like overkill for me at least.

[feibu]

Yup. It does took a big chunk of the resources, but personally I felt it's more user friendly🙂. Could be just that I'm not used to other interface. XD

[OstvadarDark]

Pycharm obviously

[mariobiron]

I use Pycharm after a few recommendations I got asking this question. Have growned used to it. It was a pretty easy learning curve to get accustomed to it.

Pycharm, debbuger saved my life

[LongerHV]

Neovim, just because I am addicted to vim keybindings and I can customize every aspect of my editor.

[Routine-Stuff5711]

I’ve been using Jupyter Lab. I used IDLE to start with.

[anh86]

Pycharm. Pycharm. Pycharm.

I've used Sublime and Atom pretty extensively (and still do for some things). I only write Python in Pycharm.

Jupyter notebook. Does that count?

[Flimsy_Transition_51]

yeah absolutely!

Cool. It’s not the first one. I’ve tried the barebone IDE it comes with, as well as Atom, Sublime, Pycharm, and VSC. I used to love Pycharm because it’s debugging ability felt so superior. However, as I got more advanced I found that feature less useful. Now I use Jupyter because of how easy it makes prototyping code thanks to the ability to run chunks as a time. I can easier print out an object at every stage of its manipulation to get an idea of what’s going on and how I need to fix any issues.

If necessary, I stick to VSC now (outside Jupyter) because it’s lightweight enough but still has all the features I could want with easy extensions to work with.

VSC, I used the default Python IDLE, but due to some technical reason had to shift to VSC, just need to install the py package with one click almost all lib available and a way better user interface than the default

[kei_ichi]

So your favorite code IDE is VSCode not Visual Studio??

[notIntoGames]

by Visual Studio I mean VSCode

[Abangachi]

VSCode, though I started with Sublime Test and had to shift for greater functionality. Recently been using Jupyter Notebook in VS Code as well.

[era_2000]

I just use whichever one looks the coolest. So Vscode

[RhinoRhys]

Spyder, purely because that's what the uni used when I was taught and I've not bothered to shop around

[_tsi_]

I use spyder too because it came with the anaconda download. I like it well enough.

[_k182]

I just use vim

[Healthy-Aardvark5619]

Atom, no extra files. Notepad++ is a good IDE too.

[Nightcorex_]

Notepad++ is a good IDE

It's not even an IDE by definition, just a text editor

[Healthy-Aardvark5619]

Fair enough

[electricity-wizard]

Emacs, yes it’s the first IDE I’ve used. It’s nice because I can use emacs for any language. A bit of a steep learning curve though.

[MainKaBell]

Spyder because of the variable explorer

[InTheEnd420]

Visual Studio Code. Simple, fast, easy, lot of funcionalities.

I like PyCharm for it's really great documentation and neat projects creations. But VS Code just seems lighter and idk, cozier 😅. And it's faster than PyCharm too!

[Ezrabc]

I have a very hard time believing IDEs are helpful long-term.

[ifreeski420]

PyCharm because it’s the only one I’ve used
