  • - PyCharm is a simple and intuitive IDE for python development which supports various plugins and extension for additional features. - There is an in-built terminal, so the developer doesn't have to use an additional terminal, which in overall saves a lot of time when working on big projects. - Syntax highlighting, debugging and suggestions feature works seamlessly every time. - Even though it is especially crafted for python development, it also works like a charm with other programming languages.
  • - It is the best IDE to code on python. - The features are optimized and function every time. - The debugging features comes very handy in finding errors. - It can easily be used for developing big python projects or just to practice programming. - The community version, free to use.

Cons

  • 1. The syntax errors do not get stated clearly in the debug console.
  • - The startup is slow when opening a recent worked file. - Paid version is not affordable for most beginners.
  • 1. It takes a lot of system space during installation and consumes RAM while running.
  • - The startup of the application consumes a lot of system resources and takes more time at startup than other IDEs. - It is a bit expensive IDE for fresher developers who want to use it commercially.
  • - The IDE can be a bit too heavy on the RAM if the system has low specification, but, other than this, is not much con to talk about.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I have used Visual Studio Code mainly for automation scripting and day to day code updates and I like that it is lightweight, easy to navigate, and supports useful extensions. It makes it convenient to manage scripts, terminal commands and quick debugging in one place
  • Lightweight and very fast Excellent extensions for HTML, CSS, JSON, schema, Markdown Makes debugging tracking scripts much easier Powerful search across folders and files Free and works smoothly even on low systems
  • Linux, macOS, and Windows are among the operating systems that Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is compatible with. Its cross-platform compatibility makes it a flexible option for developers working in various contexts.
  • 1. It has an excellent set of tools for debugging and testing the code. 2. It can be customized heavily from the settings or from the configuration files. 3. Furthermore, it has a lot of extensions available on the extension store to increase the features and functionality of the code editor. 4. It supports all the major programming languages and frameworks. 5. It is extremely light on the system.
  • Best free IDE that i have used so far. It is very light weight in terms of memory utilisation and works smooth on my Mac Book PRO. I really like the window splitting feature and renaming my terminal tabs. I can run my different environments in different named tabs.

Cons

  • One issue I have seen is that it can slow down a bit when too many extensions are installed or when the project becomes large
  • Slight learning curve if you’ve never seen code editors Too many extensions can become confusing Not beginner-friendly on day one without YouTube help
  • VS Code could be thought to be less efficient for really big projects when compared to more complex IDEs. Nevertheless, the size and complexity of any project will determine this.
  • It does not have dedicated build tools available on the options and to use that the user has to use command in the terminal.
  • Although the features are great, one feature that i really miss out on this IDE is the use of GIT. E.g. if it does not support a GUI to resolve merge conflicts. It is handy for updating the repo but not that flexible for resolving conflicts.
