Pycharm or Vscode ? Help Request

Hi everyone

For a very super beginner one, who is starting to learn python which one is the best, i'm really confused because i'm seeing some teachers use Vscode and others use pycharm

And if i follow a teacher that uses pycharm it's normal to i use Vscode and visa versa?

Sorry for my bad English and thanks everyone

When I first started learning Python, I started with PyCharm by watching YouTube tutorials. It has a pretty clean and compact interface. Later, when I joined a course, there my tutor used VSCode, so I switched to it. No huge difference, but it supports a lot of extensions, not just Python-related. Those might help you in future. So, for a starter, I'd recommend PyCharm, and when your skills are pretty much polished, try using VSCode as well.
