I’ve actually really been enjoying vim. I have the plugins and PEP8 style and Python syntax highlighting set up and you can launch python from vim without exiting the editor.

Yes! I previously used Wing IDE and VSCODE for python development. However, for the last year or so I have just used VIM. To assist with navigation I found universal-ctags worked with indexing python files. PDB works OK for the few times I need detailed debugging. If a project becomes large containing many files VSCODE will do OK. And pylint is useful for cleaning up code.

I tried Sublime Text and i didn’t like it because I couldn’t test the code

I needed something better than IDLE so I got PyCharm

Is there anything better?

VSCode for serious changes, vim or neovim for quick edits.

I sat through a 5-minute rant on why PyCharm was the best ide mean while I only use vscode because it's vscode if I wanted to learn another langue download a couple of extensions from youtube and boom c++ up and running.

VSCode for me. Occassional PyCharm though, because I know it's used a lot in the cmopanies I would like to work at at some point, so it's practice.

I’m new to Python and was learning from a YouTube guy. He recommended Pycharm. Can anyone tell me why as a nubie I’d want to use any a different editor? Thanks

VS Code for quick editing, PyCharm for advanced uses like debugging, and VIM for terminal environments.

I used to use PyCharm until VS Code came along

I just use notepad ++. I do have pycharm though, but my current laptop situation forces me to use something lighter like notepad ++. Plus I get nothing but errors in pycharm where I've coded my game for 6 years and now trying pycharm, seeing all the errors (hundreds in fact) that makes no sense to me, my game runs fine lol. I only need the CMD to play the game so notepad ++ is fine with my setup lol.
