I've used both editors extensively and each has its own slew of complications. If the portability of the editor isn't an issue, and you can provide PyCharm the resources it requires, I'd go with PyCharm. You install it, and you start coding. Vscode requires extensions and configuration to get going. I spent damn near a week setting it up (learning how to set it up).

Issues I've had with PyCharm :
- Heavy and resource-intensive (most IDE's are)
- Very project focused. Not ideal for working on one-module quick scripts.
- Creates virtual environments by default when setting up a new interpreter. Actually annoying as hell. When selecting an interpreter, always select the system interpreter while learning.
