I'm not sure I'll ever use another IDE again. I came from a background where Visual Studio was the go-to, but it was always so heavy and resource intensive. Once I switched to VSCode, I was hooked. It's light, easily customizable, and fully integrates with git!

I love using VS Code for my data science work. The extensions are where VS Code excels. I'd recommend Python, Code Runner, Docker, Jupyter, Live Share, Prettier Rainbow CSV, and AWS Toolkit (if you use AWS). Once these are installed, data science in VS Code is a great experience. You can handle any data and view results without having to move programs. If you're in data science you need VS Code.

The best text editor ever. The only thing I don't like about it is it's a little "heavy" (slow to launch the app) .
