I use both VS Code and PyCharm for Python development. I spend the majority of the time in VS Code, but I’ll jump over to PyCharm when I need to do certain refactorings or code navigation (e.g. implement the methods of an abstract base class, find all methods overriding this method, etc), since PyCharm has much better support for that. Microsoft’s approach seems to be “GitHub Copilot can do it”, but while there are some things Copilot can do that PyCharm can’t, there are other things where PyCharm does it much more quickly or reliably than Copilot does
