Currently using VSCode... is PyCharm worth the price?

    You can always try PyCharm Community, which is free. I don't personally have experience with Python, but if the difference between PyCharm and VSCode is the same as the difference between WebStorm and VSCode (I mostly do front-end and recently migrated from WebStorm to VSCode), it might be worth the switch - better refactoring, better code indexing and search...

    I think PyCharm is for bigger projects where debugging and refactoring is harded, I do small Python changes on a lot of files so vim/vscode is a prefered fast solution

    I tried both for Python, prefered Pycharm (I was using community before switching to ultimate) the reason for it better tools overall for Python development specially on a bigger project scale. Also as @Kamen mentioned Community edition is free and if the ultimate is available for a 30 day trial. Try it and see which one do you prefer better.

    Pycharm Community is very good, not sure what extras you get with the paid version but the community edition is perfect

    I use pycharm for school projects... As student its free and i would pay the price after my bsc because i love it ☺
    Especially for working with keras, numpy and pandas (scientific tools) its an enhancement compared to vscode. But use the trial first :)

    Pycharm is a crutch for a lot of devs in an already hand-holding language. Use it for 3 months consistently then switch to VSCode, or sooner if you feel ready.

    In interviews you dont get pycharm to help you.

    @arcsector You sound like you harbour resentment against this IDE.

    To what extend would it be a crutch?
