  • I started as a sysadmin in 1995 and started programming not long after that. I spent most my time in a shell and vim, started writing python all in vim. Then I took on a project that was a graphical application for windows and OS X. It was a rewrite of a windows visual basic app that we did not have the source for, so now good opportunity to write a multi platform application.

    I wrote that program in python/pyQt3. Started on linux (which it also ran on) decided to look at IDE’s to help with pyQt I found Eric3. It made writing the first app and many after a lot easier.

    So moved on from there a few years later and I use Jetbrains Pycharm commercial if I am writing anything bigger then a quick script I will do it in Pycharm.

    Some of the things I like in Pycharm.

    • really good vim emulation
    • the linter finds code problems very well
    • debugger is fantastic I rarely use a print to debug but it still happens
    • Increase’s productivity, hard to see at first.

    I strongly recommend looking at IDE’s start with Kdev and see where it goes also try the trial version of Jetbrains Clion. https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/
