PyCharm. Does pretty much everything I need. Work paid for it.

  • syntax highlighting
  • auto complete and suggestions
  • find usages/definition
  • refactor
    • delete
    • move
    • extract
    • rename
  • git integration
  • SQL integration
  • steps into library code
  • connect to sources installed in docker
  • probably other stuff I take for granted and can't think of now

I've had some coworkers who are more "steady hand and a magnetized needle" and I don't know how they do it. Like I was collaborating with a guy and watching him manually find and rename stuff was painful. Though I think a lot of people just don't know how to use their tools. There's a lot of stuff in pycharm I dont use.

I'm still slightly salty about an old coworker that would use vanilla sublime and make PRs full of easily caught errors. "Can you approve my pr?" "No dude the linter failed. Did you ever set up any of the tooling locally?" "Nah"

Is pycharm's semantic highlighting still kinda ass? That's the biggest thing that stopped me from using it over vsc. As of like may this year i remember there still being active issue tracking for it.

Now it is my turn to be the guy with the steady hand and magnetized needle. I don't think I use semantic highlighting unless it's on by default and I never noticed . I might go check it out on Monday.

Do you remember what issues you were having with it?

I think it was this issue. Looks like maybe it got fixed some time this year? Iunno, i'll look into it at some point

I just turned on semantic highlighting and I don't think I can use this. So many colors! Maybe I'd get used to it

For me the remote deployment and ssh interpreter are very useful. I develop on a Mac and deploy on Linux servers. Sometimes there's a scenario where a library works on Linux but has trouble working on Mac. Rather than spend time working on getting it work on Mac, I just remotely deploy it to a tmp directory on a Linux server and setup an ssh interpreter on the server, and continue developing on the Mac. Very useful for me.
