Are there any big advantages of using pycharm instead of sublime?

I'm learning Python and I already have sublime installed, should I use pycharm instead?

    Hell yes. Sublime text is a toy by comparison. PyCharm gives you a tons of features such as a debugger, pluggins (e.g. PEP8), warnings of depreciation, and python 2.7->3.x conversion.

    Try PyScripter Also. Whatever Suits You The Best.

    Pycharm community is free and very useful for python coding (tip: pycharm community > pycharm edu)

    When you are working on big projects, things like "find usage" and "go to declaration" help a lot. Also ctrl+alt+L 👌
    For small projects it won't make much difference but I'd recommend pycharm if you're looking to contribute to some open source project

    I feel confortable using Atom. Give it a try and evaluate which editor fits you better. That's the key to productivity.

    Use vim. It has more big advantages.

    I use both. For quick scripts and most automation tasks, sublime with sublimeREPL is sufficient and I prefer the less bloated interface of a text editor over an IDE, but when I do things like machine learning/deep learning, the variable explorer and the debugger in pycharm are a must.
