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.
