I've been using PyCharm for years, and it's been killer the entire time\! PyCharm includes the code editor, debugger, test runner, version control, package manager, database tools, virtual environment support, and web framework support. With so many tools included, it's difficult to recommend anything else\! > > **Cons**: The application can be quite clunky and heavy due to the nature of the way it has been built. Whilst there are lots of good extensions, some third-party vendors will develop for it second to VS Code, so you may have to wait for some functionality. > > Development in Python has been night and day moving from VS Code to PyCharm. I build various tools and scripts, and the in-built tooling helps identify issues whilst I'm typing, and helps provide fixes and better practices. It also has native support for frontend (HTML, CSS, JS) in one place. The ability to connect to databases is huge as well, makes things SO much simpler being able to stay in one screen. ----- ### "feels like visual studio optimized for python" — 3.0/5 > **Terry** | *20 May 2025* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: it looks like visual studio optimized for python, very straight forward for software developers coming from other programming language to get on board > > **Cons**: the user interface design is a bit outdated, the support for jupyter notebook feels a bit buggy, unable to add more jupyter nbextensions ----- ### "The most powerful IDE for Python professionals" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *19 January 2026* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Code completions and static analyses in PyCharm outperform those of all other Python IDEs. The PyCharm visual debugger is amazing. Stepping through your code and checking the values of variables as you go will save you hours of trial-and-error. In addition, I like how it has built-in support for virtual environments and has excellent database development tools. > > **Cons**: It uses a lot of resources to run. It will take up a lot of memory to run and will often take longer to load than other editors - especially older machines. Because it is designed to handle large projects, it may take longer to index a large project. For someone new to using an editor, it may seem a little bit less user-friendly than something like VS Code, which is considered a "light-weight" editor. > > I use PyCharm mainly for backend development because it is superior to lighter editors when creating complicated applications. The integration with Git and the refactoring tools make managing large projects much simpler than editing files in a text editor. Although PyCharm is resource-intensive, the time savings provided by its productivity-boosting features far outweigh any performance-related issues that arise from using it. ----- ### "Great IDE for robust and efficient python development." — 5.0/5 > **Bikam** | *3 July 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The refactoring is much better in PyCharm than any other IDE i have used. There are also many great plugins available in pycharm, IdeaVim for vim motions, and the Grazie grammar plugin which highlights grammatical errors in your comments. Other than in really small projects, i have noticed that ram usage is exactly the same in Pycharm and in VSCode. The default theme and font in PyCharm looks great too. > > **Cons**: On really small projects (under 1000 lines of code), i have noticed for me that PyCharm uses more memory than VScode. In rare occasions Pycharm underlined code with yellow, marking it as an issue, when there was no issue. This hasn't happened to me in months so they may have fixed this, when it did happened i just clicked ignore warning. > > PyCharm is great and makes handling large codebases a breeze. For python development i always use PyCharm. ----- Page: 1 / 16\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ie/software/186625/pycharm?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ie/software/186625/pycharm) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | ko | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pl | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
