Ask HN: Best Free Python Editor?

I recently started working in Python and reached straight for VSCode, because it's been so great for other languages. But its Python plugin is... extremely underwhelming. MyPy/Pylint checks don't run until you save, take several seconds, and don't even place the underlines in the right place; they all end up at the start of the line. Autocomplete support is minimal.

I know PyCharm exists, but is there a free editor that does a better job than VSCode?

Edit: Excluding text-based editors (vi/emacs); I'm not a fan
