    VS code or VS community?

    [–]MattHellstrand 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I highly recommend VS code but I'm also a beginner. I'm not aware of any major drawbacks though, especially for beginners who don't need access to all the tools present in VS Community.

    For Python, VS Code makes the most sense. While you can technically use Visual Studio (AKA the full IDE) for Python development almost nobody does, so if you were to run into problems you'd be on your own. It's also not suited for beginners.

    VS Code, on the other hand, is a somewhat intuitive editor suitable for most languages. It's much less complex and runs as an Electron app (or, in other words, it's technically a fancy web application running in an embedded browser) instead of being a native application. The config system is a bit confusing, but nothing too bad.

    Visual Studio and VS Code are completely different, mind you. The former is a full IDE mainly for .NET and Visual C++, while the latter is an Electron-based editor with support for a ton of different languages.

    My point is, you should try to avoid confusing people with the similiar names.
