PyCharm Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
Senior Consultant at Mark Gurry & Associates4.5I use PyCharm for rapid prototyping mainly in GenAI, appreciating its support for frameworks like Django and Flask, and intelligent features like code completion. Though its refactoring needs improvement compared to IntelliJ, it saves me time and money overall.
Director at Freelance4.5I use PyCharm for writing quantitative libraries, data manipulation tools, and Django applications. Its unit testing integration is excellent, enhancing productivity. However, it uses heavy resources. I switched from Vim and found PyCharm preferable to Visual Studio Code for consistency.
Consultant at a comms service provider with 10,001+ employees4.0I found PyCharm stable and feature-rich, but its high cost limits adoption in our team, which prefers the free Visual Studio. The setup was easy, though broader usage would benefit from a free community edition like IntelliJ's.
Vice President at E-Cell Ramaiah4.0I use PyCharm for running, testing, and debugging code. It integrates well with GitHub, enhancing coding efficiency with features like documentation previews. However, it consumes significant memory, reducing laptop battery life, making alternatives like Visual Studio Code preferable for smaller projects.
Technical lead at a computer software company with 51-200 employees4.0I use PyCharm for software development, especially Python development across frameworks like Django and Flask. It offers excellent IDE features, source control integration, and AI-powered code completion, but it can be memory-intensive if too many files are open.
Scientist - Instrument II at AbbVie5.0I use PyCharm for developing complex software projects with robotic operating systems. It offers a user-friendly environment and supports robotics tools, though it lacks some OpenCV features. More support for ROS development would enhance my experience further.
Developer at ExcaliburFRC4.5I find PyCharm's syntax highlighting to be excellent and highly customizable, although the navigation could be improved. I haven't used any other solutions or cloud providers, so I cannot compare the return on investment with alternatives.
Senior Project Manager at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees4.0We use PyCharm for Python development due to its valuable feature of providing coding hints, which aids in faster, error-free coding. However, its heavy resource usage and lack of direct integration with tools like GitLab need improvement.
