I havent tried cursor, but obviously it's sort of the top dog. VS code + roo code or similar plugin are also great options.

Pycharm, i dunno, I have pro. When using the big name cloud it performs well. If that's your intention, than its worth a try.

Local LLM it became very unreliable. No diff capability, had to do full document replaces, which were slow.

Tool calls in ai chat were unreliable at best.

Junie never ever worked properly for me. But I have had a few big patches since all this testing. Not to mention new models to try. Its quite plausible that this is old opinion.

You could check out void ide, but that's another I never had good luck with. It's BETA software, it hasnt been updated in many months. Which is bizarre because the tool itself should feed itself back in on itself and have tons of improvements flowing.
