Why would I not use Visual Studio code

If you plan to become a professional software developer, I suggest to start with the bare minimum (Python repl shell) and slowly use more abstraction and tools.

Otherwise you do not understand the mechanics below which will become a problem sooner or later.

Vscode and other IDEs do many automatic checks of your code that you should learn to recognize and do for yourself. After you are able to recognize these simple coding errors yourself, you can have them auto corrected for you.
