Well if you are a student, Pycharm offers student license for free so it's should be alright.

If you are looking purely for VS code plugins you could head to Python Development in Visual Studio Code for realpython.

Do let me know if the experience is great as I'm currently using Pycharm, I might consider switching when it has a better debugger to like Pycharm.

Hi,
As stated I already use Pycharm and have already done what realpython suggests.
I like using VS Code as it's so versatile and responsive/fast, everything feels quicker than many fully fledged IDEs. That said if you want the best feature rich experience for a specific language then it does seem so far that you'll get that with a tailored IDE like Pycharm over a more general text editor like VS Code. Also, though quicker to use VS Code seems to use the same amount or more RAM than Pycharm does, probably because it's Electron based.
