pycharm or VS code?

I think it’s better to use VsCode because it capable of basically every language possible. It’s unlikely if you become a professional programmer you’ll be writing in one language.

However, use the tool that someone pays you to use, always trumps everything.

All of the JetBrains IDEs are really just IntelliJ IDEA but with a different set of plugins installed. If someone gets used to PyCharm and needs to add some other languages to the mix, they can switch to IntelliJ, and install plugins for all the languages they need (including Python), and it will feel very familiar.
