PyCharm

Has anyone used PyCharm? Is PyCharm for Data scientist or for developer? Any sharing about PyCharm is appreciated.

Thank you.

PyCharm, being an IDE could be for a developer who is a data scientist

I mainly use PyCharm for my Django projects but it can be used for anything because of its versatile UI.
My website do visit :
Atlantis is a website for latest Computer Science Technologies like Python, Django and Linux

I personally use Pycharm (community edition) for the vast majority of my projects. It's easy to install, very little needed to setup and has a great amount of features. If you are a professional developer, you may want to invest in the paid version in order to get all the bells and whistles. As with any new software, there is a learning curve, but it's really not that bad.

The default settings are typically good enough, though I do change three of them (not bad considering all the options):
1) Make input/output 'utf-8'
2) Automatically insert the shebang line at the beginning of any new file
3) Switch to a mono-spaced font.

IDE's are pretty personal depending on the individual and their needs. The best advice is to try a few and see which you are most comfortable with.

Thanks for all the replies. I realized that I need to clarify my question a little since data scientists could have a different definition and job responsibility in different companies and industries. Actually. I referred "data scientists" more as predictive modelers/statisticians who are the users of model algorithms (random forest, decision, etc.) to build predictive models. From the replies, it seems to me that PyCharm is more for a developer, right?

No, Pycharm is a graphical interface used to aid in creating Python code. Just like Python itself, Pycharm does not care what your job title is, whether a developer (which, basically is all coders), data scientist, web developer or hobbyist. Python itself is the workhorse and is most certainly capable of handling 'data science'. Pycharm is simply a tool to write, test and deploy your code. Do not confuse an IDE with the language itself.
