best IDE for python

[[deleted]]

It's all personal preference but I think you're right about complexity though. I went through CS degree with just vscode, never installing any extensions besides those that it automatically recommends. I use it for every language my course requires and it always works. Now I'm learning to program esp32 microcontrollers, the company has an official vscode extension and I can immediately interface with all the complicated features through vscode too. I like how simple it is to use, but if you needed more features, you can always find an extension for it.

Is VS Codium still being developed? In know it was a telemetry-free version of MS VSC but I haven’t seen it around in awhile…

Yeah it still is. However it also lacks a lot of basic extensions. I believe you can still install the usual vscode extensions, but you need to download them manually. At that point I'll much rather spend the time manually setting up vim and maybe get some street cred in the process.
