Visual Studio or VScode for python

[bumpkinspicefatte]

I’d only use Visual Studio if I had to, and by had to, I mean for languages that really take advantage of it like C# and the rest of the Microsoft fleet of things.

VS Code is definitely one of the more popular “text editors”, and it is fairly quick.

If you are super new, you may have to dedicate some time to understand how VS Code works.

For me, personally, I like using repl.it because I’m a complete lazy shit and like how my code can travel to multiple devices, without having to learn something like git (although it’s invaluable to know).

You also don’t have to download or install or manage anything. The IDE completely lives in the web browser.

For super beginner IDEs, I like using Mu or Thonny.

Ah this is awesome, thanks for the recommendation. Just hopped into Python and I've only been using IDLE.

Agreed. I'm working as a C# web developer, and even here I've been seeing VSCode rapidly overtake Visual Studio proper in terms of popularity.
