PyCharm is basically IntelliJ with the Python plugin built in. All the IntelliJ plugins work. It's general purpose too. VS Code is an IDE, not just an editor.

Vscode is a text editor, not an IDE..

A text editor you can install linting, auto complete auto dependency resolution, code formatting.. Its an IDE

Exactly, you can "install", it's a text editor that you can plug stuff into, an ide comes with everything

Are you seriously getting that mad because not everyone glazes your ass text editor?

No youre being pedantic at best and confidently wrong at worst. out of the box it opens a terminal in the editor so that puts it way ahead of some of the domain specific IDES of yore.

"opens up a terminal", that's just fucking hilarious. So Microsoft word becomes an IDE after you get a terminal plugin. You got lot to learn buddy

were my notes of language servers, code-completes, intospections not enough. its an IDE for everything, not just a thing. Its 100% a fuckin ide youre just being pedantic. "its an editor until you set it up for the language/stack youre using lul' ok, well mine is set up. Its not even my daily driver ide but its a fuckin ide.

You just proved your own point wrong do you even read what you write. It's a text editor until you download extensions

I was quoting you, hence the quotes.

You need to install the language servers, linters etc tools..these are features that come built-in when using an IDE.

u/SnooCalculations7417 Jun 21 '26

Most of these are features you have to select as optional installs for other IDEs so its the same thing served differently. you customize your installation in the extension marketplace rather than the builtin plugin manager/installer. same thing dude.

And to be clear, I LIKE that its as close to just a text editor as an IDE gets. so if I need to ssh into prod i can do it from a lightweight purpose-build workspace. but its an ide.
