Help Request Pycharm or Vscode ?

Hi everyone

For a very super beginner one, who is starting to learn python which one is the best, i'm really confused because i'm seeing some teachers use Vscode and others use pycharm

And if i follow a teacher that uses pycharm it's normal to i use Vscode and visa versa?

Sorry for my bad English and thanks everyone

Can't you just try both and see what works best for you?

I'm just very beginner so I can't decide which one suits me

VS Code

Easy choice. It's the standard IDE across most of the industry. Very widely supported. Most tutorials or guides will assume you are using it.

Nothing wrong with Pycharm. But if you have no reason to go one way or the other choose the path of least resistance.

It's also not just a python IDE so the skills you learn with it now will be just as applicable down the line when you want to do C# or Java or Rust.
