As IDE I used to use PyCharm, however, I no longer use it due to the memory consumption. Right now I'm getting used to work with Vim (as a simple but powerful text editor), and I've been setting some useful plugins for Python projects.
PyCharm is a good full featured IDE for Python. I've also spent equally as much time coding on a text editor and executing Python in command line. Once upon a time I used Gedit with a terminal plugin for the bottom of the window.
I tried to love PyCharm. I really did. But, in the end, it is just too much clutter.
I do adore VSCode for any language, including Python.
I also historically have loved NINJA-IDE, although 2.x is taking forever to be released.
I use visual studio code, I love the clean interface and the shear amount of extensions.
I agree. I'm also a fan of the tasks, which are a LOT easier that setting build commands manually.
one new feature I love in the latest window release is the open wsl feature, it allows you to open your dev environment in a ubuntu instance without a vm.
I love VS Code for it's extensibility and vast library of available plugins. It's easy to change your interpreter and set up debugging as well.
I see no reason to exchange VS Code for a big ide like pycharm.
I also do a lot of fullstack development, so being able to quickly switch between python and other languages is a benefit.
I'd recommend CodeRunner if you're on mac. It's a simple and lightweight IDE for python and many more.
I also used PyCharm in the past but, now, if I need to do something with python I will choose VSCode for sure.
