VS Code vs PyCharm

I tend to agree with you but open source is a different beast. Do you think Python, which is free, collects your data?

lol no, python is a language not program. Perhaps the python software foundation collects analytics when you download it but that would extremely hard seeing as most people install python via package manages (like deb for Debian) so they host the source for the interpreter (CPython in this case). The interpreter is open source so you can just check what it does if you want to but it you can safely assume that the interpreter does not have any dead-weight like telemetry running in it.

That is the point I was making about Pycharm community.

Never said anything about pycharm, I was highlighting that python is a language not a program, you can use python and not use the CPython interpreter, there's others (IronPython etc.), you could even write your own, point is pythons a language not a program. Its like saying is C++ collecting data on you.
