People always use bloated as an argument against something. Bloated framework, bloated linux distro, bloated ide…

What really is the problem with having all “the plugins installed”/features, nicely integrated, always compatible, reasonably configurable, maintained and with support vs inflating a minimal editor (framework, *) yourself, without all the advantages mentioned earlier.

Yes it may cost some cheap memory, vs costs of fixing plugins yourself.

My advice: Embrace it. Everything just works. Bloated in many cases is a non argument.

Disclaimer: long time bloated fan. Pycharm, django, monoliths. I rather spend time fixing things that matter.

That's... That's a huge stretch. I've been on an outdated version of pycharm for nearly a year now because they broke support for docker-compose in a pretty huge way. Moreover, I have yet to have a pycharm project where I didn't need to create my own docker override file.

Interesting, i recall doing that in the early days of the docker integration. It is pretty solid now. Also might have been the weird way that project was setup, but i do not remember the specifics.

Also cannot judge it because you gave no examples.

Maybe your project is an outlier?
