Convenient to use and surely increases the effectiveness of software development

The solution does not support some features of OpenCV even though it is part of a PyCharm package. Open CV is used to develop software that involves computer vision tasks. It seems the solution is not fully updated to use the latest PyCharm packages. I would like even more support toward robotics-related software tools. For example, support of ROS, ROS 1, and ROS 2 development would ensure that I continue to use the solution.

Detects, analyzes, and fixes any coding issues

When it's integrated with a weak server machine, the performance isn't that great. It starts up slowly and even crashes at times. If they optimized some of the modules within the ReSharper extension, it would be smoother and faster. Sometimes when the machine is a bit overloaded, it causes it to crash and you need to disable the extension and then re-enabled it. It's not really a stability issue, it probably depends on the machine, but they should consider the fact that not all people have strong machines with high hardware specifications. As long as you have a good processor it will work smoothly, but regarding minimum requirements, it needs to be revisited.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The best feature of PyCharm is that it gives you hints whenever it detects any issues while you are coding. This is important because it helps us code faster and without any errors."

"The solution has a great debugging feature."

"It is an excellent, fully integrated IDE with smart code analysis capability and a built-in debugger. It is a fantastic tool."

"Good syntax highlighting and very it's very customizable."

"PyCharm has an excellent user experience, and I appreciate its cross-platform capabilities."

"The product's IDE feature is quite user-friendly."

"We have integrated the tool with GitHub. PyCharm provides easy integration with GitHub, allowing us to push changes directly. Many plugins are available on PyCharm for GitHub integration, including GitHub Copilot for auto code completion and GitHub Copilot Chat for assistance with code-related queries."

"The automated package installation is helpful. I like the code highlighting features. A huge library of plugins is available, including AI coding tools, though I don't use those myself. The debugging tools are good, showing errors and problem lines."

More PyCharm pros

"The most valuable feature of ReShaper is that it provides continuously scanning of the data in real-time. ReShaper has a really good mechanism and process, they have a decent system."

"It comes with many features and supports almost all of the coding languages available."

Cons

"The solution is heavy because running it on laptops consumes a lot of memory and power. Typically, a laptop battery might last about eight to nine hours, but with the tool running, it reduces to two hours or one and a half hours at most. It is designed to handle large projects and heavy tasks, making it resource-intensive. For smaller projects, use IDEs like Visual Studio Code."

"Customizing the tool can make it complicated."

"The solution does not support some features of OpenCV even though it is part of a PyCharm package."

"One issue with JetBrains tools, including PyCharm, is their heavy resource usage. They can be slow to start, especially when beginning a new project, as it takes some time to index."

"The navigation can be better."

"There should be support for the RUST plugin in the Community edition for debugging."

"Notebooks in PyCharm is not as intuitive as it could be."

"The user interface and overall user experience could be more intuitive to make it easier for users to navigate and utilize the software effectively."

More PyCharm cons

"When it's integrated with a weak server machine, the performance isn't that great. It starts up slowly and even crashes at times."

"ReShaper could improve by increasing the performance of the scans. Their application is taking too much CPU. The processing is taking too many CPU resources which causes the system to slow down."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price is reasonable."

"The community edition is free, which is good."

"The community edition is free and the professional edition has a licensing fee."

"They have a free Community edition, and they also have a licensed version. They definitely have an annual license. They probably also have a monthly license. Its pricing is good and reasonable. It is a little bit more expensive than the others, but it is well worth it. I would rate it a four out of five in terms of pricing."

"I use the free community version, so I'm saving money there."

"I don't have much info on the pricing, but I would say it is somewhat competitive."

"As far as I know, the licensing isn't very cheap."
