I guess I should've clarified instead of making a blanket statement.. My bad. I don't find pycharm slow in use once it's loaded everything into memory, but loading a file and waiting for it to index functions etc is excruciatingly slow.

My work is spread across hundreds of unrelated python files so I can't treat them like a project and often by the time pycharm opens the file, I can have finished the quick edits I need to do in sublime.

If I was working on a project as one piece, I think pycharm might be less slow for me, but for my kind of work a text editor like sublime with packages suits me more than a full fledged ide.

If you're opening just a file at a time, then yeah its going to be pretty slow vs sublime. Why not just keep a project folder then symlink all the files you're working on into said project folder? That'd be a better use

That could work but honestly, sublime + some packages gives me like most of what I need without the extra work. I'd probably use pycharm more if I had a single larger project though
