I switched because my workplace has licenses for VSPro, and IT doesn’t want us grabbing our own stuff off the internet.

What a disappointment! it’s worse, and harder to use in almost every way. For the record I’m coding in Python and just need git integration and a debugger.

It’s such a step back in design language and usability. Love to ignore free software in favor of its expensive “professional” counterpart

Silly Hexbear, Visual Studio is not an upgraded counterpart of VSCode, Visual Studio is an IDE specialized for C#/Dotnet and C++ development, while VSCode is a general purpose source code editor with wide extension support for different programming languages.

Using Visual Studio for Python is like using VSCode for C#: while it is certainly possible, it would be a lot more difficult than using the proper tool for the job, so you should still stick with VSCode for Python!

You may have picked a bad example here, Visual Studio has good python support out of the box.
