They've invested a ton into Python support in VSCode in recent years. It's really good.

The language server Microsoft built for type checking and completion (https://github.com/microsoft/pyright) is excellent. It makes Python feel like a first-class statically typed language, which isn't something I was able to replicate in Pycharm (tried this very recently). Meanwhile, it's just baked into VSCode, no configuration needed.

I use Jetbrains tools for several languages, but for Python and frontend (Typescript with React/Vue/Angular) VSCode is hitting the perfect notes.
