Comment on Ask HN: Why do you like Visual Studio Code?

Comments

The VS.Code UI felt far more intuitive for me, but I switched to PyCharm because it is far easier to set up and maintain than a VS.Code environment.

This. If you want to save your developers' time. Pony up for a Jetbrains product. Getting VSCode to equivalent functionality takes hours. Dev time is expensive, PyCharm is worth it. (This is not a paid endorsement, I have no connections to Jetbrains other than being a customer who has tried VSCode.)

In my experience it depends on the product.

Rider and Pycharm work great for me but I can’t get Webstorm to work properly with my workplaces large Angular product, whereas VSCode handles it without issue.

Do you have an elaboration here? This in no way matches with my experience, and I'm not sure I understand how this could be the case.
