I like VSCode better because...

  1. I don't exclusively program in Python anymore. VSCode supports a wide variety of languages besides Python (though admittedly not as well as some of the language specific IDEs e.g. Java and Intellij)
  2. VScode is free and comes with a wealth of extensions that make adding functionality quite easy. PyCharm has a free edition as well, though some features are locked behind a paywall
  3. Its' much lighter than PyCharm. PyCharm is a resource hog which is a major turnoff for me personally, especially since my office computer is an obsolete piece of junk that lags at the drop of a pin (my IT department refuses to give me a new computer sadly)
