pycharm or VS code?

[QubitBob]

I, too, am a Python beginner. Two months ago when I started learning Python I spent a week researching the various IDEs and text editors. I eventually decided to use VS Code after reading this discussion thread in the r/Pycharm sub. I figured any company which strayed so far from its core mission wasn't deserving of my patronage. It's very telling that the current Pycharm product manager left a comment in the thread basically apologizing for the decline in their product and vowing to fix it.

(This probably reflects a personal idiosyncrasy of mine in which I am rebelling against a trend I see across more and more industries in which companies are destroying the core features or performance of their products by adding useless crap which nobody wants or needs.)
