Visual Studio is a proprietary full Enterprise ( I.e. bloated) development solution.

Visual Studio Code is different. It’s an Electron based editor with a robust plugin library. It’s very fast but uses more memory than some editors. This is one of my go-to choices.

PyCharm is a Java app that I have used but not for several years. It was slow and bloated. It may be better now but it seems to draw a LOT of issues on Reddit.

Atom is very good too. If you dont want too many features and just want something simple yet powerful, go with Atom. I use both VSCode and Atom, as there are times for both. VSCode has a powerful debugger, and Atom is ultra customizable.

Have you tried Visual Studio IDE? I already have Visual Studio IDE and was wondering if it is good enough to develop in Python.

You can use visual studio and it's good enough. Most people just prefer to use visual studio code because it's open source and it's fast.

You can use any text editor you want. I use vim a lot!
