"The best environment to learn and develop in Python"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

It is a development environment specialized in Python as a programming language. Among its features, and what I am testing now, is the student version with GitHub, which provides a license that allows you to take guided programming courses, where you learn about basic structures and other elements. In other words, besides being a code compiler, it also allows you to learn through courses either from PyCharm itself or from Coursera. Among its functionalities, I have found the possibility to integrate tools for productivity and project management in data science, and it creates virtual environments for the use of projects.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

At the moment, the only bottleneck I've had is the language update in PyCharm. Even though I've configured it, this hasn't been reflected in the windows, which has made things a bit complicated for me. Likewise, constantly and recurrently, I've had to validate the license. For example, for the use of AI, a credit card is requested as a security mechanism. This doesn't bother me, but the excessive authentication or license validation does.

"Best IDE for python based develoment"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

The user interface is very clean and offers several theme options, making it visually appealing and customizable. It works seamlessly with Anaconda, Miniconda, standard Python installations, and even supports interpreters over the network. Features like auto-indentation and code syntax highlighting are included, which enhance the coding experience. Code auto-completion and suggestions are also available, making development more efficient. The software allows you to work with multiple files simultaneously, and Git comes pre-configured for version control. There is also an option to install the appropriate interpreter for your project if one is not already set up. One feature I particularly appreciate is the default auto-save, which ensures that my work is always preserved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

Honestly, I don't have much to add because I consider this the best option available on the market. I truly appreciate the features it offers and really enjoy using them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Extremely Productive, But Consumes Many Resources"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

I use PyCharm in my daily routine for developing Python applications, and it helps me write more organized and productive code, with features like AutoComplete, real-time error analysis, and version control integration. What I like most about PyCharm is the intelligent AutoComplete, real-time code analysis, and the plugin ecosystem, which allows adapting the IDE to different needs. The AI features help speed up code writing and review, greatly increasing my productivity. The native integration with Git, the robust debugger, and the ease of managing my various virtual environments and dependencies really simplify and make my workflow more efficient. PyCharm saves a lot of time by avoiding silly mistakes with AutoComplete and real-time analysis, and the plugins allow adapting PyCharm to the type of project I am working on. The initial setup was smooth, PyCharm already comes with many things ready, which allows setting up the environment quickly without requiring much manual configuration. Overall, it greatly helps to work with more organization and less rework. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

Well, in some cases, PyCharm can be a bit heavy, especially on machines with fewer resources, and the startup time could be a bit better. Additionally, some more advanced features, like AI, are only available in the paid version, which can be somewhat limiting for those using the community (free) version.

"PyCharm is GOATed with remove development, but they need to step it up a bit more"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

The wide array of functionality is amazing. Out of all the features though, the ability to set a remote python environment as the environment of the IDE is amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

The said remote python environment functionality was always a bit buggy sometimes, but it got really buggy in recent years. I also think their docker integration is lacking behind VSCode's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best IDE ever"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

What I like best about PyCharm is its powerful, out-of-the-box development environment tailored specifically for Python.

The intelligent code completion, real-time error detection, and robust debugging tools significantly speed up development and reduce mistakes. I also appreciate the integrated support for virtual environments and package management, which makes it easy to manage dependencies without leaving the IDE.

Another standout is its deep integration with popular frameworks and tools like Django, Flask, Jupyter Notebooks, and Docker. This makes it ideal for both simple scripts and full-scale web or data science projects.

The overall user experience is polished and professional, with a layout that’s highly customizable but still intuitive. PyCharm helps me write cleaner code, catch bugs early, and focus more on building rather than managing tooling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

What I dislike about PyCharm is that it can be resource-intensive, especially on older or less powerful machines. The IDE can take a while to start up and sometimes feels sluggish when working on larger projects.

Another drawback is that many of the advanced features are locked behind the paid Professional Edition, which can be limiting for individual developers or students who need access to tools for web development or database integration but are using the free Community Edition.

Additionally, the interface can feel overwhelming for beginners, with so many options, panels, and settings that it takes time to get comfortable and productive.

Despite these issues, PyCharm remains a powerful tool—just one that has a bit of a learning curve and hardware demand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PyCharm – Smart, Flexible, and Developer-Friendly"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

PyCharm is really convenient and intuitive. I like that it’s easy to set up and implement, with a simple installation process and multiple themes to choose from. The free version already offers plenty of features for my needs, helpful prompts when errors occur, which makes coding much smoother. I also appreciate how flexible it is to organize files—whether in a single project or across multiple ones—and the ability to quickly edit code with keyboard shortcuts. Everything feels very intuitive once you get started, and the interface is clean, making the coding experience comfortable and efficient.

I haven’t needed customer support much because the documentation is solid, though sometimes working with packages can be a bit tricky and errors may appear if installation isn’t done properly. I use PyCharm a few times per month, mostly when I need to solve some code challenges or work with HTTP requests. Overall, it has a good balance of features for both basic and more advanced development, and integrates nicely with AI tools (not in the free version) and project management workflows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

Sometimes working with packages can be tricky, and errors may appear if installation isn’t done correctly. It requires a bit of patience when configuring certain dependencies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
