* Better support for QT & KDE tooling for one. * Faster. * Opinion: PyCharm's static analysis seems to be better. * Nice support for opening projects from source control.

Kdevelop is really not all that bad, and it does a good job of getting out of the way. That said, I'm using PyCharm for 99% of my work in Python. Kdevelop, I keep around for the occasion when I want to tweak a KDE app.

It used to be very crashy in the past but I recently tried it with Apache httpd codebase and it was really good - fast, accurate code completion, easy configuration, same stellar customizability except it all seems to work now.

Just in time to port everything to Qt 6 and start the merry-go-round again!

Kidding, but also not really.

Thanks, probably not enough for me to switch, but nice to know.
