  1. PyCharm is just better. The Intellij IDEA platform is years ahead of anything else, included Visual Studio Code. But if you are used to vim or better, neovim, or if you are an emacs user, you'll find difficult to switch. I never liked vi, which I first approached in school 30 years ago. Whatever people say, I think the insert mode is just stupid. I didn't like emacs either. I loved Turbo Pascal and Turbo C++, Delphi, and all the Borland products, that's why I switched to JetBrains, because it is the new Borland. They do IDEs, neither vim or emacs are IDEs, and I am surprised by how many people don't use and don't know how to use a debugger. You can't be any good if you never use a debugger.
