Visual Studio Code vs PyCharm?

Question

Hi there!
I was wondering which out of Visual Studio Code or PyCharm would be more efficient and easier to use. I am currently learning Python and would like to know what the majority of the people think.

Answer 1

Pycharm is a full blown IDE with all sorts of features. VS Code in 'only' a text editor with some extra features and plugins. But that is also its main advantage, being very lightweight, does not take a lot of space, starts very fast. Ans also, VS code has many abilities like linting, syntax highlight, git integration, and debugger, that gives you almost everything you can expect from pycharm.
I've been using pycharm so far, and very pleased with it, but I am looking for a lighter alternative right now and considering VS Code. I think I will test it a bit, and see if it really is up to par.

Answer 2

I prefer Visual studio code. Because it is easy to use, light weight, and various extension related to python can be installed easily.

Whereas PyCharm is also a good IDE for python because it has many libraries preinstalled that helps alot while developing Python Project. But PyCharm require a good Computer Configuration.
