		weberer 5 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Void: Open-source Cursor alternative Pycharm is extremely popular in the data science world. The Community Edition is free and has 99% of the features most people need. Even when developing with Cursor, I find myself going back to Pycharm just to use the debugger, which I greatly prefer to the debugger used in these VS Code forks.

Lately I’ve only tried clion, which has no free version. Personally it didn’t function as well as vscode for C++.

You may have missed it but they did release a free version of clion recently (for personal use). https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43914705
