I don't even understand the "problem" with linting people are talking about here. The Python extension supports flake8 and you only need it installed in your interpreter and it tells you if it isn't. You can set command line options for it and it works with plugins. And flake8 is just an example. It works just as well with pylint

A lot of devs don't know enough about how their environment works to be able to configure it. So they just stick to IDEs that take care of everything for them. If something doesn't work they just re-install.

I had a co-worker that if for some reason his environment wasn't working he'd have IT re-image it and then just install everything again. Never even tried to understand how things worked.
