My hunch is VSCode or more likely Cursor. I’ve spent some time this summer trying to get IDE independent tooling running and have settled on Ruff + basedpyright. Also switched over to using UV. You may want to look into Astral’s TY or facebook’s rust based Pyrefly if keen to alpha / beta test.
I found getting VSCode properly set up and figuring out what extensions were needed a real pain in the ass and have never found something as good as Pycharm’s Git integration.
Agree! Bit of a steep learning curve in the beginning but once you get over that, it is a very productive coding environment. Check out the Neovim distros (e.g., LazyVim, NvChad) to get up and running quickly.
I tried Vim and Neovim seriously for years. Eventually got fed up with plugins randomly breaking, and memory leaks requiring me to restart the editor multiple
times per day.
I still use it for pure editing, but doing stuff like debugging and running tests I just don’t want to put up with it anymore and Jetbrains never breaks.
I'm so incredibly disappointed at how quickly JetBrains is enshittifying what used to be the best set of IDEs available.
I paid for the all products pack for nearly ten years. I gave up a while ago and I'm just stuck using my fallback licenses for the 2024.1 builds, which are IMO the last usable versions.
So I understand - you're canceling the subscription because they advertised a product they sell?
Pycharm is the best.

Neovim, simple answer. No subscriptions, no ads, fast, free forever. Have a look at the integrations.

What does neovim often over a standard vim?
Vim's creator has recently died. He was the creayor and almost solo developer. Neovim has Lua scripting and a vibrant dev community.

VS Code has the second best lsp for Python (it’s proprietary), there is open source version of it as well with less features.
The problem with other editors is the lack of good and fast lsp. Pycharm’s lsp is so head of everyone.
In VS Code and other editors the lsp for Python is written in JavaScript which is hilarious.
I was also willing to pay to support a company that produced software I liked, worked well, and treated me as a valued customer
so when it advertised AI to me I immediately cancelled my very expensive corporate all products ultimate subscription
just using community for now

Wing IDE is performant and I enjoy using it.
I have licenses for both Wing and PyCharm
I'm happy with VS Code.
Me too, including integration with GitHub Copilot
