Best experience for IDE on market. I really love PyCharm and was my first IDE to programming with Python.
Best IDE for data analytics and for integration with Git A lot of features, and really ease for newcomers. Debugging is veeery improved
It's a bit expensive. PyCharm is heavy for some computers, for simple codes I use other softwares more simple and lighter than PyCharm.

I used PyCharm for machine learning projects. I found using this IDE very useful and easy due to its more useful features I mentioned above. It was really easy to work with the IDE as I could even open CSV files inside the IDE due to its extended support. It is a great IDE to use for easy programming and the IDE makes it easier to debug the scripts as well.
I really like the ability to run small code blocks separately without having to run the whole script. It helps to test blocks of codes separately and to debug. The ability to detect unused libraries that are imported to the script is another useful feature I have noticed in PyCharm. It helps to remove unwanted yet currently imported libraries. The available different themes are also appealing and helpful. Further, PyCharm supports a wide range of plug-ins as well.
The slight disadvantage of using PyCharm is if we get used to using it, it becomes slightly difficult to adopt to another IDE in a case where we have to use another IDE. This is because PyCharm consists of lot of features, libraries and extensions by default that reduce a lot of manual task which will not be available in all other IDEs.

It's a pretty intuitive IDE for python developers.
It has a lot of features. So it is difficult to unlock all features from the get go. It has big learning curve.

I am very satisfied with this IDE
PyCharm is an excellent IDE for python language development. You have a lot of code editing aid tools, as code completion, language reference, refactor tools, etc. I used it to develop python software on Raspberry Pi, with access to RPi hardware. PyCharm supports remote deployment and execution using SSH, that eases this kind of work: you have the reference from the libraries installed on the remote platform (RPi), and the code completion and syntax check works as if you were running on the RPi.
The IDE setup interface/menu is sometimes a little too complex. Some features setup location change from version to version, increasing even more the complexity

Overall, when I want to work on mostly python related stuff I will definitely use this IDE as it accelerates progress more but when I will be working on mostly frontend code and not much python-based backend I would not use this as it slows me a little.
Being specific to only Python-related development really helps this IDE. Ready to use Python frameworks project files. We can also manage virtual environments in a really good way using this. A really good interface for using Git and Github which makes it very good for VCS.
Not a cons but I was having to use another code editor/IDE for the frontend, I was not that much comfortable using frontend libraries and languages in this IDE.

Satisfied
1. One of the professional IDE used for Python programming. 2. Compatible for different python frameworks. 3. It posses syntax highlighter. 4. Compatible with multiple platforms. (Cross platform IDE)
1. The memory utilization is high. 2. Only perform python code editing, no other languages are supported. 3. To get professional version payment should be done after the trial period.

I started off with the Community edition and loved it so much that I purchased a personal license for it.
The full richness of the IDE is where PyCharm shines, code completion, error highlighting, code hints, etc... easily make this the best IDE for Python on the market.
PyCharm (like other IDEs from JetBrains) can be a resource hog, you have to have a pretty decent machine to run it constantly all day.

I love this IDE and recommend it to anyone using Python.
Pycharm by far is my favorite Python IDE. The ease of troubleshooting code when it can find the error really easily for me. Also everyone loves a Visually dark IDE!
I don't have any Cons. The only problems I have with it is when I do something wrong in my own code :).

Developing with python programming language, really useful IDE for developer
PyCharm is good tool to use if you are developing in python language. It provides neat feedback on code quality and highlights things you might otherwise miss.
PyCharm works very well, so only thing i can think of that pricing could be cheaper, but that can be said for all products :)

A great introduction to python with a fully functional IDE.
The variables pane is a fantastic tool for beginner python coders. It allows me to inspect the columns, attribute and functions within variables, this has really helped me develop my understanding of python.
There are too many tools and options, this overwhelms the beginner. Additionally, the conda integration isn’t that great. The process for integrating the conda python interpreter with PyCharm isn’t clearly documented on JetBrains website. Also, managing the conda environments from within PyCharm has a low success rate, often libraries will end up corrupted or conflicting. I exclusively use conda prompt to manage my python libraries.

As my experience, it's one of the best IDE for python.
An outstanding interface and ease of use makes this software most favorable to me. High quality facility like debugging and plugins makes it fastest from all other IDE and easier. It's accuracy really appreciable.
Too much space, ram, rom and processor power requirement creates problem for user like me. Sometimes, it suddenly stopped and it's really disturbing. Over expansive, is another factor of disliking this.

My go-to IDE for quick prototyping of programs and concepts.
I was delighted when I found that Jet Brains made a Python IDE. My first experience with their product was IntelliJ java IDE, however I didn't really enjoy the language but did enjoy the environment. Compared to simply running python from command line this is light years better. Good auto completion, refactoring, e.t.c. makes this super easy to use. I love the free professional version for students, but have used the free community edition as well with no real issues between the two.
Some options are weirdly buried. Accidentally turned scientific mode on and couldn't figure how to turn it off.

Overall best IDE for Python developers helps in python code development.
Pycharm is really helps a python developers, it speeds up python development application development. it really detects syntax's and semantics while writing code.we can easily integrate with version control and packaging. debugging code with code navigation is very good one.
Really no issues with pycharm as a python developer, But sometimes opening and closing IDE takes time.If you are running with low memory we always see out of memory issues.

My overall experience has been great thus far. I believe I will continue to use it in my professional career. I would absolutely recommend this product for any software engineer, machine learning engineer or even a data scientist who wants to do some scripting work.
I have been using this IDE for a short time now. I must say it extremely amazing. I love how convenient and easy it is to use. The layout is fantastic. Having everything present in a single place like that definitely makes my life much easier as an engineer .The code editing tools are amazing, the code improvement recommendation system that they have is definitely a plus to have, sometimes the IDE...
I don't have any major critiques of the IDE but I would say perhaps having a co-pilot would be an incredible improvement to make it an even better IDE. Other than that I have no issues with it.

I think the application is very powerful, the best IDE for python.
Definitely Code formatting is the one thing I like the most about PyCharm, this saves a lot of time. The download and setup process is also very easy.
Well it is heavier than other applications of their kind, therefore sometimes it is very slow. I also like how Jupiter is designed there, it made me less it use.

Great experience, still taking practice in the IDE but good for now
Is a good IDE with a lot of the most common functions. I use the community edition and it's great for me to code.
Visually is weird for me the IDE view. I am coming from Visual Studio Code, and sometimes is confusing for me Pycharm.

PyCharm is a great IDE if your content with working within its bounds.
PyCharm makes writing Python a breeze. It's also fairly flexible in terms of customization and features.
While PyCharm does offer its users flexibility, it's not to the same degree as some competing IDE's. Some features, like linting, debugging, and indexing, is limited to JetBrains' implementations and cannot be overridden.

1. I've used Eclipse as a developer and automation engineer, and this IDE really adapts to what I need. I mainly use Eclipse for Java programming language as well as Python, and the coding experience stays the same. 2. IntelliSense feature is helpful. 3. Deployment is seamless since it can be integrated into CI/CD tools
1. If you have experience with other newer IDE now in the market, you may realize that Eclipse tends to be more "too techy" based on the interface. But if you prefer it oversimplified IDE (like PyCharm), this is for you.

Eclipse is THE Integrated Development Environment you will need to use for any sort of Java software development. I loved that even though it is a complex IDE, it is pretty easy to get started with. Development with Eclipse is a hiccup free experience and has pretty reliable integration with GIT and contains lots of plugins to extend its features.
Although it is the best development suite for Java, it is not exactly the best experience for other languages such as Python or C. It is lacking in features for those languages as compared to CodeBlocks or PyCharm for example. Also, it is quite resource intensive as it gulps down oodles of RAM to maintain its smooth operations, but even then it crashes sometimes for extensively large projects, which is never desirable in a good IDE.
