At the Netherlands eScience Center, some popular editors or IDEs are:

- [vscode](https://code.visualstudio.com/) holds the middle ground between a lightweight text editor and a full-fledged language-dedicated IDE.
- [vim](https://realpython.com/blog/python/vim-and-python-a-match-made-in-heaven/) or `emacs` (don't forget to install plugins to get the most out of these two), two versatile classic powertools that can also be used through remote SSH connection when needed.
- JetBrains [PyCharm](https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm/) is the Python-specific IDE of choice. [PyCharm Community Edition](https://www.jetbrains.com/pycharm) is free and open source; the source code is available in the [python folder of the IntelliJ repository](https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community/tree/master/python).
