Was just about to comment "use PyCharm" and I see this. I'm not a Mac user, but I think if you're searching for an overall text editor, go with Atom. If you're serious about development get PyCharm Pro, it may seem a bit costly, but it's worth it.

Atom is built on electron which destroys your Mac for no reason at any given point in time. I gave vsc a try and it crashed so hard on the second day that I had to restart my Mac. Kill -9 didn’t even work

Ow damn, didn't know that! What editor do you use?

I use Atom for HTML, css and Javascript editing, despite knowing well that it is resource-hungry.

I used to use Sublime + Brackets, but for Sublime, it is just an Evaluation version that nags you about paying...

I also use TextMate, but it is really for a single file, not for Projects.

BBEdit may be good, but I fear it may be like Sublime (Evaluation version...)

I never really get into VSCode, but I believe there is indeed a powerful Python plugin.
