### "Great beginner software, but not my go-to anymore." — 4.0/5

> **Mitchell** | *14 June 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has a simple interface with handy features like a variable explorer to easily see your data. The variable explorer was likely my favourite part.
> 
> **Cons**: It has fewer features for general programming and doesn't offer much customization.
> 
> Overall I enjoyed Spyder when first learning to code, but as I progressed and ended up doing more statistical analysis, Least Squares, HTML, and in general combining more tools - I found PyCharm or Visual Studio more effective.

### "complement of jupyter notebook" — 4.0/5

> **Terry** | *12 May 2025* | Mining & Metals | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: integrated with anaconda, the user interface is very similar to R studio which makes transition smoother
> 
> **Cons**: the user interface is a bit outdated, spyder version 6 broke the python kernel a lot, had a rough time to start python

### "Very user friendly interface" — 4.0/5

> **Armin** | *24 July 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It has the variable window, a feature similar to Matlab, that many other coding environments don't have. It is easy to use for debugging.
> 
> **Cons**: The variable window in Ubuntu OS sometimes after cleaning the variables still show some of them(This happened in remote access to working station in Ubuntu 20.04)

-----

### "Good help for beginners" — 4.0/5

> **Leila** | *15 July 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Its easy to learn how to program and anyone with a little background in programming can learn it. Also its an open source which is a great option.
> 
> **Cons**: It's not very easy to use it for debugging.
