I really like spyder for it's Matlab like IDE but I wish they handled virtual environments better. I also don't like that I have to install their kernel in the venv to use it.

#32Spyder is great. More minimalist than Pycharm, but it actually allows you to run multiple Python consoles in parallel, which is strangely absent from Pycharm.
I generally find it really hard to use full on IDEs like PyCharm for doing more investigative/research kinda work in Python, which is where Jupyter/Colab/Spyder are great at. It's just a very different flow, creating a large application versus doing analysis/research.

In fact you can do this, at least in the Professional edition of Pycharm. How to do it isn't especially obvious though. On the left hand side of your python console with be a +. Click that and it will give you a new one.

#34If you use this, you are a junior dev - embarrassing
This comment is embarrassing. The tools a person uses is not an indicator of their skill level and thinking so is only holding you back, not the person using them.

Pycharm Professional edition has a Scientific project type, which I was hoping someone has experience with.

#37I like spyder a lot for the variable explorer, which makes it feel more like Matlab. However the constant bothering about installing Kite got annoying. Unfortunately there isn't a way to use Kite and have it not constantly annoy you about upgrading to the enterprise edition. If Kite had a no ads plan for like ~ $10 a year it would make a lot more sense to integrate it in spyder.
Not to be trite, but there is a github repo and the license is MIT. I'd guess it's possible to find the relevant nag code (possibly in its own github commit), strip it out, and recompile. Edit. maybe this is what you're talking about? https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/commit/6b602af50f632cf6...

Hey, a PM of PyCharm here.
Justin case someone will find it useful and relevant. Our team is currently working on a brand new IDE (based on PyCharm) for data scientists.
A big part of what we're doing is convenient support for Jupyter notebooks within the IDE. This new IDE is currently under development but already provides the support for notebooks similar to how the native web Jupyter notebooks work – cells and outputs under each cell. The IDE's functionality will include SQL, Jupyter, Python, and R support.
If you'd like to try the early EAP builds of this new IDE with the new notebooks support, please fill out this short form: https://pages.jetbrains.com/pycharm-data-science-insiders
Once you’ve confirmed your participation, you’ll get a detailed email with instructions on how to download the early builds and details about how to share your feedback.
Will be also happy to answer questions if any.

#39It often causes a double-take for me when I see projects on HN with the same name as projects I once worked on. Way back in time, maybe around 1998, a friend an I worked on a steganography tool that we called Spyder. I don't remember where it was published or under what license (probably freeware), but the algorithm was incorporated into Hide4PGP ( http://www.heinz-repp.onlinehome.de/Hide4PGP.htm ), and we stopped wo…
There's also a recent video game named Spyder

I like to do a bit of a mix: write the library functions in Pycharm, then import and call them in Jupyter Lab. I used to try to do implementation too in Jupyter Lab but that got messy very quickly.
