I'm just installing PyCharm on Windows. It says it is 1.5GB in size. For
an editor, that seems enormously bloated?

Has anyone used it and/or can recommend a python IDE?

That's twice the size of their Java/Kotlin IDE

It has got a bit bloated, but all the Intellij IDEA based products are
very good. PyCharm would be my first choice for anything beyond a single
file.

VSCode is more lightweight.

I have toyed with VS Code, but I have given up on all the complicated
ones and gone back to IDLE. Better the devil you know ...
