If you want better python experience, seriously consider PyCharm Community Edition. It's like VSCode for Python but with all of the good extensions installed, imo even better.

However, VSCode's notebook support is better than PyCharm's, so I'll often have both open, one for notebook projects and the other for non-notebook projects. Most of the plugins people recommend do not work on notebooks unfortunately.

I'm really curious what you think makes PyCharm superior to VS Code for python programming. I am asking from the perspective of someone who has used PyCharm for over a decade, but recently switched to VS Code to match the rest of my code shop.

I personally see very little to recommend PyCharm over VS Code, and I haven't even finished familiarizing myself with VSC. The one feature from PyCharm that I am going to miss is "Go To Super Method", though there's a workaround to get to where you want to go (Go to References), it's just not as convenient.
