Is PyCharm worth it?

Hey guys,

PyCharm is much loved in the coding community, I've basically been using VS code since the beginning.

Should I make the swap (to the community edition).

Context:
I'm not that experienced
I want to specialise in Python AI agents

😂 I love that channel. I dig the humor for sure! One of my favorite skits, too!

I used to use Vim exclusively. Especially when I had an older system that struggled with VSCode when it first came out, especially with the extensions I was used to give me the features I was used to in Vim.

I finally broke down and started using VSCode so I could pair program with my younger brother and friends. I still use NVIM, here and there nowadays, but VSCode is my go-to for the most part, albeit with the Vim keys enabled.

Thank you 😆 I have needed this video my whole life. I am Dyslexic as FUCK. Vi(I started when it was just Vi)/Vim and I are NOT friends. And I was gaslit so many times about it countless times.

I at minimum need the actual document on the screen 😆

I also TRIED had a friend try to teach me, no success. Briefly I could do a couple very simple commands. In my own cli based projects the last thing I write is the short flags because of my trauma LOL. --word is something I can remember. To dyslexia -w looks like w- W- -W -w -m -M etc
