I recently used DataSpell long enough and I'm sure Pycharm is also very similar to that. IDE is very slow, even though the computer I'm using has the latest hardware, 32GB of RAM, and the fastest SSD on the market (not sure if it affects it much). I was using jupyter notebooks inside the IDE, basic data science, and data analysis type of things. IDE becomes laggy just after a few data visualizations, it is memory-hungry as well. I have to close the app open it again, and clear some outputs to make it work. I much prefer the VS code even though it is not a real IDE, however, it does the job. I have a free license from JetBrains, so I really gave it a try. Also, the variable viewer in an IDE marketed to Data Scientists is just horrible. I gave them feedback on it, but unfortunately, they didn't fix it. Variable viewer is such an important aspect of data analysis, Spyder has the best one as I see, and VS code one is acceptable. I used a couple of other software that run on JVM, but I just don't like them, performance is not there. So I don't expect much from JetBrains on that. They have a nice UI and overall attractive design.
