Everyone advised me at first to use Spyder because it is very easy to use and because it has a simple and easy user interface, and it is easy through it to learn the basics, also because it does not take up much space on the device, and the CPU remains in a normal state

Spyder is well suited where the user needs to understand how the code is progressing as it provides a robust debugging feature.

I have chosen Spyder because it's free and open-source that comes with properly documented comments in the code. I have been using Spyder for more than 2 years and it always feels good to work with Spyder every time start my work. In Spyder, we have three windows one for man …

I think Spyder doesn't stack up as well as other IDEs due to its many limitations. But it is available for free and that is one advantage it has over its competitors.

For PyCharm, if you choose the professional edition, you will have to pay an annual fee for it. Even your company is allowing those expenses. You might find it is still not worth it to pay for that since you can get a free community version for free or the Spyder for free.
Chose Spyder
First of all, for PyCharm, the layout is better than Spyder from my own experience and interaction. However, Spyder can allow you to arrange the layout by yourself but the layout for PyCharm is fixed. Second, if you choose PyCharm Professional, you need to pay an annual fee to …

There were generic code editors and I use to have coding error and sometimes it was difficult to manage interpreter with these IDEs. With Ms VS code, there were lot of plugins available that we need to configure before starting writing code. With Spyder no base is supposed to …

Spyder is well suited if you're limited on hardware. You have to work with single code file. You need to quickly write some code and test it. Apart from this if you want to have a look at your variables then you can make use of Spyder. If you're working with Anaconda navigator then this can be the best to start with as it can be installed with single click there.

Usability
It is fairly straightforward to use. Pretty much good to go as soon as you install it. The IDE itself is very user friendly, and it is only limited by whatever limitations Python has as a language. Great for those who want to run their scripts quickly or do some Python programming without fussing.

Most of data scientists or data engineers are either using ec2 on the cloud or Atom or PyCharm locally. It is a bit hard to find people who are still using Spyder and have the sight of the IDE and can help you to answer your question.

I have chosen Spyder because it's free and open-source that comes with properly documented comments in the code. I have been using Spyder for more than 2 years and it always feels good to work with Spyder every time start my work. In Spyder, we have three windows one for man code window, idle window, and the other is for running your code and analyze. So to test a particular code I use the idle window to see what is going to be the result when I use this set of codes. That the main reason, I use Spyder.
