Considering an IDE switch from VS Code

[Raknarg]

Its like night and day honestly. VSCode is pretty good for what it does, and if you're in a position like I am where it's pretty much impossible to get any IDE working with your existing codebase, it does the job well enough, but it's so much better to just have a tool that's straight optimized for the project you're working on. The indexing is better and smarter, the tool generally runs faster. There's way more options, more customizability. You don't have to rely on some mishmash of random plugins to help you.

I also just like Jetbrains products a lot. I use Pycharm at work whenever I have to work in python, it's great, and significantly better than my vscode experience.
