PyCharm vs Zookeeper: What are the differences?

<Write Introduction here>

1. **IDE vs Management Tool**: PyCharm is an Integrated Development Environment (IDE) designed specifically for Python development, offering features like code completion, debugging, and version control integration. On the other hand, Zookeeper is a centralized service for maintaining configuration information, naming, providing distributed synchronization, and group services.

2. **Functionality**: PyCharm primarily focuses on helping developers write, analyze, and debug Python code efficiently, with additional support for web development, scientific computing, and data analysis. Zookeeper, on the other hand, is used for distributed coordination and management tasks in a large-scale distributed environment.

3. **User Base**: PyCharm is widely used by individual developers and development teams working on Python projects across various industries. Zookeeper, on the other hand, is often utilized by system administrators and DevOps engineers managing distributed systems and applications.

4. **Programming Language Support**: PyCharm is specifically tailored for Python development and offers advanced support for the language, including intelligent code completion, refactoring tools, and testing assistance. Zookeeper, on the other hand, is not language-specific and can be used to manage configurations and services across different languages and platforms.

5. **Development Focus**: PyCharm is continuously updated and improved to meet the evolving needs of Python developers, with regular feature updates and bug fixes. Zookeeper, on the other hand, focuses on stability and reliability, with a strong emphasis on providing a robust and consistent platform for managing distributed systems.

6. **Integration with Ecosystem**: PyCharm integrates seamlessly with other tools commonly used in Python development, such as virtual environments, package managers, and third-party libraries. Zookeeper, on the other hand, is often integrated with other Apache software like Kafka, Hadoop, and Spark to handle distributed coordination and configuration management tasks efficiently.

In Summary, PyCharm is an IDE tailored for Python development, focusing on code editing and analysis, while Zookeeper is a management tool used for distributed coordination and configuration management in large-scale systems.

UPDATE: Thanks for the great response. I am going to start with VSCode based on the open source and free version that will allow me to grow into other languages, but not cost me a license ..yet.

I have been working with software development for 12 years, but I am just beginning my journey to learn to code. I am starting with Python following the suggestion of some of my coworkers. They are split between Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA for IDEs that they use and PyCharm is new to me. Which IDE would you suggest for a beginner that will allow expansion to Java, JavaScript, and eventually AngularJS and possibly mobile applications?

Pycharm is great for python development, but can feel sometimes slow and community version has Somme very annoying restrictions (like they disabled jupyter notebooks plugin and made it premium feature). I personally started looking into VS Code as an alternative, and it has some very good potential. I suggest you take it into account.

The Community version of PyCharm is free and should give you what you need to get started with Python. Both PyCharm and IntelliJ are made by JetBrains. IntelliJ is initially focused on Java but you can get plugins for lots of other things. I subscribe to JetBrains' Toolbox: https://www.jetbrains.com/toolbox-app/ and have access to all of their great tools.

Hi, I will give my opinion based on my experience. I have used PyCharm, both community and Professional version. The community has limited functions, like you can't use a Jupyter notebook whereas it's available in the Professional version. PyCharm is slower compared to Visual Studio Code. Also Visual Studio Code is an editor which supports various languages. I myself have used both Visual Studio Code and PyCharm. I feel Visual Studio Code would be better choice. You may as well decide based upon your requirements.

I couldn't imagine using a development tool other than the IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate All Products Pack. A single license allows me to work directly on my server running Ubuntu and/or my workstation running Windows 10 Pro simultaneously. My current project uses HTML, W3CSS, JavaScript, Java, Groovy, Grails, C, GO, Python, Flask, and Rust. For me it's worth every penny of the $150 license fee. And you can try it for free.

I'd personally recommend Visual Studio Code as it gives you the flexibility of working in any language, so long as there are extensions to support it. It gives you the flexibility to learn Python, venture into Java, Javascript, and eventually AngularJS, and potentially mobile applications. It's also free and you can install it on your personal computer. I think Visual Studio Code would serve your intended use case best.

Visual Studio code is easy to use, has a good UI, and a large community. Python works great with it, but unlike some other editors, it works with most languages either by default or by downloading a plugin. VS Code has built in linting, syntax coloring, autocompletes (IntelliSense), and an api for plugins to do there own tooling.

IntelliJ really is the best for Java, I switched from eclipse years ago and never looked back. As for javascript, python and angular either using the standalone products from jetbrains (pycharm for python, webstorm for js) or installing the relevant plugins for InteliJ will be your best bet. Pycharm etc. are really just InteliJ with some additional plugins installed.

If you starting with Python then PyCharm is better. For Java I would suggest to go with IntelliJ IDEA but people also prefer eclipse so I would say try both and then decide. For JS/Angular/React I would suggest go with VSCode. I personally use it and prefer as its light weight and have good integration with chrome for frontend development.

PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA are both products of JetBrains. They have a free (limited feature) and paid edition. Eclipse is free. VSCode is also free.

All three are great, however, I believe that IntelliJ IDEA's multiple IDE's are slightly more straight-forward and more up-to date than Eclipse. If I had to choose one specifically for Python projects I would go with PyCharm.
