There's nothing wrong with comparing two things that do the same thing.

It is like saying don't compare a car and a truck, they both take you from A to B, they both have different pros and cons, the comparison is apt, even with their dissimilarity.

Same thing here. It absolutely makes sense to compare a fully featured IDE and text editors. They offer the same core service, they just have different benefits and drawbacks.

There will be a lot of people who choose either PyCharm and Sublime/VSCode.
