VS Code IDE

Visual Studio Code as Primary IDE

Visual Studio Code combines the simplicity of a source code editor with powerful developer tooling, like IntelliSense code completion and debugging. First and foremost, it is an editor that gets out of your way. The delightfully frictionless edit-build-debug cycle means less time fiddling with your environment, and more time executing on your ideas. In addition, built in linting tools, e.g., pycodestyle, pydocstyle, pylint, flake8, and other PEP 8 and PEP 257 are fully integrated in the tool.
