If I'm being honest, I haven't really mucked around pycharm. My primary hate really is using a chome/firefox/safari browser window for the notebook interactivity.

Personally, I use Atom with Hydrogen backend, but I develop the files in sch a way that they tend to end up as working for both interactivity and for scripts. So say my train_keras_script.py works both to train when it's deployed on our GPU server, and works as my primary debugging script.

I tend to throw most of my results into a .png output files and .csv's, the latter of which I use for R analysis scripts (and yes I know R Studio has markdown, but I'm just stubborn I suppose ).

In terms of IDE bells and whistles, I think #1 is certainly autocomplete. I will admit that I can be somewhat of a crummy speller. When first learning to program, it caused me a lot of headache trying to debug. Simple syntax checking and autocomplete of variables (especially long variable names that are meant to be descriptive) made me really embrace programming professionally.
