Or that using an editor instead of an IDE doesn't matter as much for these small tasks where everything fit in one file?

I'm a big JetBrains fan, and now use PyCharm at work. But there is something about Python making IDEs not as useful as it is in other languages. Too much magic and weirdness in the language makes it harder for tools to do a good job.

The whole "VS Code is an editor, not an IDE* argument doesn't hold water anymore.

There are decent to great LSP clients for many languages. VS Code has git integration. And by far the richest plugin ecosystem of any editor/IDE.

Yes the Intellij solutions are often better and top notch for languages like Python/PHP/Go/...

And everything feels more integrated and coherent.

But VS Code is still very far beyond a dumb text editor.
