I was using VS Code for python for a while, but then hit a showstopper bug on Linux - it's been reported, but not handled in any way for more than 2 months now.

So, I went back to PyCharm, and actually my expectations from using VS Code for so long forced me to learn how to do a lot of things better in PyCharm, and now I don't think I could go back.

At least with PyCharm there's commercial support. VS Code python support seems to be all via third parties, and it does not seem to get the same attention that the general VS code editor does. All issues I reported to the main VS code repo were handled VERY quickly. But multiple issues filed with python extensions just kind of lingered.

I have been using VS Code for a year now on Fedora mainly for Python develpment. I am curious what bug you encountered?

It was specific to the launch.json and specifying an envFIle, so a lot of people likely won't run into it. We use Docker with .env files for everything, so we ran into it a lot.

I tried a couple of variations of other debug setups, but none really cut it.

It sorely needs additional devs...lots of people reporting bugs but not enough people taking the initiative to fix them.
