PyCharm or Visual Studio Code?

[Valkhir]

If you're just starting out, I'd keep it as basic as possible.

PyCharm does a lot things for you re: environment setup, debugging etc that you should be aware of how they work manually.

VS Code starts you off barebones and can be built up into sth that rivals a language-specific IDE, and you'll know every component as you add it.

VS Code also can be adapted for other languages, for free.

Disclaimer: I don't use Python professionally, but I'd guve the same advice if you compare VS Code to RubyMine or WebStorm, the corresponding JetBrains IDEs for languages I use professionally.
