"Excellent Python Support with Smart Completion, Refactoring, and Debugging"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

Excellent Python support. The smart code completion is genuinely helpful, and the real-time error detection catches issues early. The intelligent refactoring tools are also a strong point. It understands Python deeply, which helps reduce bugs and speeds up development. The debugger is powerful, and the built-in tools for developers make day-to-day work smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

Heavy on system resources. The startup is slow, which can be frustrating when I just want to get going quickly. Also, the professional version is paid. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly PyCharm That Makes Automation Projects a Breeze"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

PyCharm is very easy to use and user friendly in nature. I have been using it for automation and it has helped me do my tasks with ease, There were quite a few projects that I have done using PyCharm and have used it everyday for the past 8 months. I have also been using the inline code recommendation from the integrated copilot. Have also integrated Gitlab in it. The implementation of the code was easy as AI was helping me alot. The Customer support was also fast in response as there was a bug which I reported and got fast reply. I'd say the experience was very good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

The only drawback I faced using pycharm was the agentic or ask mode of copilot in Pycharm. The suggestions and code changes that were suggested were less efficient and required a lot of tries. Apart from that I have no other issue with the Pycharm software itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

"Efficient Coding and Debugging with PyCharm"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

I love the shortcut keys in PyCharm that make it easy to navigate between different variables and functions. The powerful editing tools are great, and the debug function is very helpful. I also appreciate the integrated prompts and suggestions, automatic syntax checking, and the Git version control integration. The flagging of syntax errors or duplicate code saves me a lot of time and speeds up my coding, making me more productive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

I find some of the menus to be difficult to navigate. It's difficult to find the settings you are looking for. They should try to make the menus shorter, with more drill down according to category. It would make it easier to find the setting you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-Use, Feature-Rich IDE with Great JetBrains Support"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

Very high ease of use with smart auto completion and many tools/plugins

It has strong ease of implementation, easy to setup virtual environments and start projects

Great ease of integration with git, docker and databases

I'll use it frequently for coding, debugging and testing in one place

It has reliable customer support and active community from JetBrains Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

I just feel that beginners might feel overwhelmed with multiple features, settings, tools and plugins (so, it has a steep learning curve, but users get used to that, after a few days of usage).

Less features on the community version, but I love the professional version which really solves multiple problems and help developers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"PyCharm: A Powerful Python IDE with Smart Completion, Debugging, and Git Integration"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

PyCharm offers a great development environment for Python. It includes smart code completion, debugging tools, and seamless Git integration. The project navigation and code inspection features help you manage and develop Python applications effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

One downside of PyCharm is that it can use a lot of memory, particularly when working with large projects or many plugins. This can make the IDE feel slower on systems with lower specifications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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: Feature-Rich, Clear UI, and the Best Python Tool for Work"
What do you like best about PyCharm?

I use PyCharm almost everyday, for work. Some of our products are developed in Python and we found PyCharm is the best tool available in the market. It's feature-rich, clear UI, easy to integrate with other external tools, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about PyCharm?

It turns slow sometimes and from time to time it's cache gets out of sync with the code. This prevents breakpoints to properly attach to the code and non-visible code changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"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.
