Should a newbie to Python use PyCharm right away?

Question

PyCharm

I started learning Python (well, programming in general, this is the first language). They advised me to use the PyCharm development environment (in order to immediately get used to high-tech solutions). I tried on a couple of simple examples to work with him. The code is typed much faster than in standard IDLE , but the presence of a great many possibilities scares me as a beginner. Is it worth using such an environment at the initial stage, or should we limit ourselves to the standard one?

Answer 1

I have already written about this many times, but I will repeat: You do not need to use an IDE during the learning phase. Firstly, the IDE saves you from routine operations, but it is routine operations that allow you to fill your hand. Secondly, the IDE hides many processes, performing them for the programmer, but they allow you to understand the basic principles. So you should start using the IDE only when you are already a pro, you know everything and you need to increase your productivity.

Answer 2

If possible, then use it. It will not be worse

Answer 3

I think it's worth it. For example, I use PHPStorm from the very beginning and now I can’t find a better tool, although the storm sometimes infuriates me.
It will be especially convenient to explore other people's classes, jump into methods where and how what is implemented.
In any case, you won't lose anything.

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

At the initial stage, I found it convenient to work in Jupyter notebooks - in the browser.
