What can you do in PyCharm that you cannot do in VS Code? I recently switched from PyCharm to VS Code to maintain a project with 250k LoC in Python (Django) and VS Code has been like a breath of fresh air. While you may need to install some plugins to get it "just right", it's more extensible. PyCharm is more "batteries included", and maybe that's the rub here.

pyrefly is not tied to vscode? Also please try to be more considerate of people preferences, and pycharm is not strictly better. Remote dev on vscode is very convenient for me, should I go on the Internet saying that pycharm is trash? No

I’m not saying VS Code is trash but I think it’s closer to a text editor than an IDE. I even use it for some things non python but I remain curious to the fact why people use it for python.

It might not be tied to VS Code but the title clearly says “New […] IDE experience for…” which is why I commented. I had hoped to see something for PyCharm or even a new IDE.

Thats what you think, other people think something else.

fortunately the LSP protocol means you can use pyrefly with whatever ide or editor you like!
