I would pick vscode over any jetbrains tool for absolutely any language. I do all of my Java, scala, and python in vscode. Use whatever tools you like (that’s why there are so many) but vscode is genuinely good for just about everything.

I can’t bring myself to fight with jetbrains insane configurations (what the hell is a facet?!?)… and some very questionable syntax highlighting.

Could you elaborate? I'm in the opposite camp and any time I try to use VSCode with Python, I really miss the Semantic Highlighting there, which helps with orientation in the code quite a lot.

VS Code has semantic highlighting too, and I'm pretty sure it works with Python these days (might need the right extension/colour scheme).

Certain bits of Python were red, but not because of an error… it was just the color scheme.

Good question: what is a facet? I’ve been using JetBrains products for 20 years now and literally have never come across that term anywhere in them.

It's one of the extra things you can add on to the base project structure e.g. a Spring facet for Spring framework projects, or an Android facet for Android apps. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/facet-page.html

Vscode is a code editor, not an idea. Everything you write is just as true for vim.

But some people do prefer an actual IDE, as it can give a huge benefit.

I get all of my syntax highlighting, autocomplete, integrated terminal, test panels etc in vscode. Vim is great too with the right configuration and tweaking.
