He probado las dos, configurar django en la de pago es más sencillo pero pagar al año una licencia, lo veo excesivo, quizá sería mejor pagar por tu versión de pycharm y hacer actualizaciones durante un tiempo.

Q/A Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Idéal pour développer les tests en Python" December 27, 2020 5.0 J'utilise Selenium et Robot Framework comme librairie sur PyCharm et j'avoue que je plus que satisfais !!! Pros Pendant mes 6 ans d'études et deux ans de carrière, je suis passé par plusieurs logiciel pour coder et c'est le meilleur que j'ai pu utilisé pour développer mes tests. Il est vraiment simple d'utilisation et permet d'avoir un accès facile au code. La connexion à d'autres outils comme Git est très simple. Et comme je suis testeur il y a un accès au terminal afin de tester le code très facilement. Cons Rien de vraiment remarquable mais je pense que le fait que je me suis habitué à sa fonction de complétion du code et que j'ai du mal à m'adapter avec les autres IDE. Le temps qu'il met pour démarrer peut être amélioré . Review Source SO Silviu O. General Manager Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "PyCharm makes Python coding easier." January 6, 2020 5.0 PyCharm is extremely useful for Python projects. It has great number of features. In my opinion, it's the best tool out here for back end development. Pros The best part of PyCharm is the debugger. It works extremely easy for an interpreted language. Better than any other tool I used. Autocompletion works just fine and comes in very handy. Easy to manage different versions of Python and also has a Package Manager. Cons Price-wise the full bundle is very expensive. For small projects, it can take up lots of memory, thus an alternative maybe suited.

Freelancer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pycharm Review" December 27, 2021 4.0 Suitable in building web apps Pros \* Provides cross platform for app development. \* Best for developing web pages using python. \* It provides smooth unit testing and easy debugging. \* Can be installed on several platforms not limiting you to a single platform \* Provides support for auto completion of code. Cons \* Provides best support for only python ignoring other programming languages which makes developers use different IDE's for different purpose. \* Requires enough space during installation compared to some IDE's. \* Runs very slow on old systems especially during runtime and opening of PyCharm Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Junior Technical Consultant Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "My personal favorite IDE" April 17, 2023 5.0 Pros \* Debugging so easy\* Navigating through code with useful shortcuts\* Multiline editing and search&replace are just so easy\* great plugins Cons \* Some features are behind a paywall which is obviously a fair value add Review Source Waleed E. Assistant Lecturer in Mechatronics Department Research Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great features but heavy on processors" July 23, 2019 5.0 I use pyCharm as my core Python IDE for Ph.D. research. It is very great in terms of autocompletion, code formatting, and refactoring. The only issue is when it comes to Jupyter notebook as it is still awful to replace the standard browser. Pros \- Code style, formatting is very impressive. - Debugging features is very good. - Ability to visually update Python packages and install new packages without pip command. Cons \- The Jupyter notebook looks so primitive on it. Rendering the notebook is frustrating.

Data Analyst II Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "The best Python IDE" January 18, 2020 5.0 Pros Very high quality, feature rich, performant IDE. The community version is highly useful, and the professional version is better. Supports Linux, Windows, and Mac. Code completion, snippets, jumping to source of imported functions, integrated terminal, source control, project environment specific consoles, debugger, test running gui, configurable, themeable, more. Cons It's a big ship, and it can be a little complicated to drive. Configuring a project's resource directories, path variables, and python executable can be very frustrating, particularly for new users. Review Source DM Daniel M. Software Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It works out-of-the-box for Python" June 27, 2022 5.0 Pros This IDE is great for starters who want to simply start coding. It comes with most commonly used configurations out-of-the-box for Python development. Furthermore, it can be extensively configured. Cons It may be heavier in resource consumption than other code editors. Review Source tV twisha V. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recommended for python developers" September 18, 2022 5.0 Pros Very convenient to use for python development, it handles all the project dependencies putting less burden on the developers Cons I wish if there could be a free version of Pycharm for beginners to get some exposure to the tool Review Source UHB Umme Hafsa B. Lecturer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "PyCharm Review" July 8, 2019 4.0 We are doing some deep learning using PyCharm. The overall experience have been fantastic and will suggest everyone to use it. Pros The best thing about PyCharm is the hierarchical view of the project. You can structure your project easily. Also for each individual project you can install libraries like scipy, opencv, torch and many more, which will be installed using virtual environment. This will not interfere with the systems installation and also will not interfere with builtin python installations. Besides, if you are a beginner and don't know about complex installation system of ubuntu, python virtual environment, PyCharm is the thing for you. Cons I like the least about the software is the debugging interface. Also you have to install all the packages if you start a new project. Review Source TP Tomasz P. Junior Network Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Python coding mad easy" April 7, 2021 5.0 Productivity increase provided by tool that great cannot be measured. After initial setup that can be problematic, it is the best Python IDE I have used Pros I love how PyCharm incorporates every useful functionality in a single IDE. Adding libraries is easy and intuitive, great debugging built in and the best code editor there is Cons Library search can be muddied by obsolete and not updated results and setting up python on Windows to work with PyCharm is not the easiest thing Alternatives considered [Microsoft Visual Studio](https://www.capterra.com/p/80230/microsoft-visual-studio/) Review Source George Rex A. Co-Founder & CAO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A Good Tool For Lovers of Python" September 25, 2019 4.0 I particularly am using PyCharm to horn my skills in coding with the python programming language. Apart from the fact that I get to wait a long time for the software to load, and I cant multitask with other jobs on my laptop, PyCharm is really a wonderful tool for both newbies and experts to build wonderful python programs. And the fact that the Django framework is embedded makes it even better for optimal utility. Pros This software is quite intelligent and a wonderful masterpiece. Its pack of libraries and easy intelligent code recognition and indentation makes me always want to continue my coding practice in python. Cons I know PyCharm is useful in creating a GUI feel for python codes, but the product is quite heavy and resource consuming especially when running on earlier versions of Windows operating system; this makes the loading and initialization time to take long. Switched from [Apache NetBeans](https://www.capterra.com/p/178681/Apache-NetBeans/) Netbeans was becoming too complicated to use, especially on the fact that am not so friendly with consoles and command lines.

Pros Best vizualization for python coders. The beautiful interface and coding area helps users write and read code much faster. Cons There are few cons that Pycharm has.

Project Manager Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "One of the best and simple IDE for Python" January 8, 2024 5.0 Pros I used Pycharm during my Bachelors to complete some Python Assignments and it was veryy helpful. The color scheme for different keywors, functions, classes etc enhanced code readability and it also provided error identifications and fixes quickly. Autocompletion also helped me finish my assignments quicker and is quite helpful when I am stuck with remembering syntaxes. Cons It is quite resource-heavy and might slow down low-end computers. The professional version is very expensive as well. Review Source Juanito O.
