So I recently learned that I need to get away from #PyCharm since #JetBrains has decided to "go AI":

jetbrains.com/pycharm/features

When looking at my other options, I saw that #Spyder (spyder-ide.org/) looked interesting, then scrolled down and saw that it was funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chan_Zuc), which sounds like something I should avoid.

I'm currently thinking Eric (eric-ide.python-projects.org/) might be the way to go. I don't need (or want) anything fancy. I just want a #FOSS #Python #IDE that works well and will keep working without trying to charge me money, sell my data, or accost me with #LLM code vomit.

Are there any better (or different) options? Is there anything good I can install from the package manager on #Debian ?

JetBrains has decided that what every #developer needs is an #AI #Coding #Agent to make their #IDEs even "smarter" 🤖💡 because clearly, what’s been missing from coding all this time is more artificial intelligence to "assist" us with our typos and syntax errors. But don’t worry, there’s a free tier, because who wouldn’t want to pay for something that was free just a moment ago? 🙄💸
