I've tried it, and watched many a colleague "struggle" with it. "First class" is definitely an over-statement from my perspective, even if it might be great compared to what you'd get with plain-text editors. It's type-hinting half the time behaves oddly even with type-hinting present.

But it is getting better, that's for sure. Looking forward to see upcoming iterations.

My "first class" remark is because it comes from Microsoft itself and isn't a third party plugin.

Would "first-party" be more accurate? First-class implies it's the best. Which it is not.

I guess so, not native speaker, thanks.

My goto for Python debugging is always Visual Studio since I'm coming from a Windows C# and C++ background. I find the Python debugger super easy to use if you're already familiar with that environment.

Early on I used Eclipse plugin for similar reasons - unified debugging across multiple platforms.
