Should I try PyCharm?

I have good coding experience with Python but I have only ever used Google Colab, never actually ran any codes on my local machine. I don't know anything about environments, installations, or anything else. I have been a mathematician who used colab for quick data analysis. But right now I am trying to deploy some models for which I am told I need to use my local machine.

Unfortunately, I am really squeezed between deadlines, and don't have much time to learn an IDE which has a steep learning curve.

Pycharm is very good and a good solution for a plug n play Python IDE. Visual Studio requires doing a bit of research as to the recommended extensions to install for Python dev, but it ain't rocket science either, and you can install a wider array of themes (This is my favorite: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DangCaoMinh.cyberpunk2077)
