Is PyCharm free software?
Hi, is PyCharm-community-edition free software? their licences are unclear. Maybe something like VirtualBox or Atom (text-editor).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PyCharm#cite_note-9
"PyCharm Community Edition is distributed under Apache 2 license, with full source code available on GitHub."

I got used to edit with Kate, which is great text editor with plugins I needed. But I really want to try some good IDE. With some helpful tool and maybe autocompletion.
It looks like the community edition you link to is libre. It looks like the products available for download from Jetbrains' site, including PyCharm Profession, are not due to their EULA.
I use IDLE for simple Python programs and Eclipse for larger ones. Here's a good resource for finding libre alternatives to non-free programs.

Just be careful though, best sources are still the repositories of
free/libre distros, and directory.fsf.org. And pay attention to
versions, sometimes they matter in respect to freedom status.
AlternativeTo has non-free JS, and confuses free/libre with open source.

You're right. I forgot to inlude my usual disclaimer for alternativeto.net that users should check the license themselves before installing and avoid having to enable JavaScript to filter by license by appending '?license=opensource' to the URL.

So long as you're mindful about the licensing of plugins you install then you should be fine.
Also as FindEssential says keep an eye on updates in case they remove features.
I use the full-fat (closed) IntelliJ at work for Java development, but I use the community editions of IntelliJ and PyCharm at home. They're not bad IDEs :)
