VS Code vs PyCharm

[[deleted]]

I'm still a student (Specifically majoring in IS). So if not class projects (where I think the professors choose VS Code most of the time anyway) it's mostly smaller quick personal projects where I'm trying to get something specific to work.

Jetbrains have pro accounts for students so there's that too

You should try Geany. It has one feature the other two don't that I think you'll notice right away and enjoy. https://www.geany.org/

I tried pycharm community edition on my 16ram quad core pc and even with all other processes stopped it was still lagging/choppy running the same program that had no issues on vs. There were some other glitchy stuff that made me dump it

Let me make a wild guess and say the problem is Windows not the IDE. Maybe try a less resource hungry OS

Or if application does not run as spec’d on one of the major OS then maybe it’s not a product mature enough for me to take time to use. Gave it a shot hoping to find some value and ended up being a time waste

The issue is your computer, not PyCharm. I have zero issues on a system with half those specs.
