Does anyone with experience with this IDE have an opinion about whether it is superior to pycharm?

The target audience is very different. Spyder is a kind of Matlab interface replacement, and as such focuses a lot more on interactive aspects. Not sure IDE is even the correct word for it.

Indeed. Spyder is the RStudio[1] of Matplotlib + Scipy.

I used Spyder as a generic python programming tool, then I switched to PyCharm and never looked back.
