I used Pycharm briefly in 2017 and thought wow this is great, does a lot of type checking just out of the box. But after coming back to it in 2024, I found it quite lacking in multiple areas compared to LSP based type checkers. I work on a sizable Python codebase and opening it in Pycharm everything looks great at first glance. Then you open it in an LSP editor and you see warnings and type errors everywhere that Pycharm never caught and everyone using Pycharm never sees. So, in my opinion, yes, much better than Pycharm, unless you have an affinity for Jetbrains products, LSP type checkers are much better. Again in my opinion, others may disagree.
