I mainly use PyCharm because it's easier and faster to do things in Pycharm. I have PyCharm pro because I am a student so I just use it.

I only use PyCharm for pure Python project. Most of the time I use VSCode for everything else except Java.

I think that the pro version could address some of the issues but I fail to see the point in paying full price. When there is a free alternative.

Yeah, I would not use PyCharm Pro without my student license. I don't even work on enormous project right now. If someone attempts to hire me to work on that scale at this point, they gonna have a bad time.

Maybe it's better for enormous project. PyCharm Pro has lots of tools integrated. It might be useful for some people who are willing to pay for it.
