I like it because it offers for free some functionalities that are paid in PyCharm, for example being able to SSH to a remote machine and edit the code directly there.

However, I miss a lot all the refactoring functionalities that PyCharm offers. For instance, moving a class from one module to another module is trivial in PyCharm (all imports from all other files are automagically updated), but it's a nightmare in VSCode (you need basically to go file by file and update the imports).
