What can you do in PyCharm that you cannot do in VS Code? I recently switched from PyCharm to VS Code to maintain a project with 250k LoC in Python (Django) and VS Code has been like a breath of fresh air. While you may need to install some plugins to get it "just right", it's more extensible. PyCharm is more "batteries included", and maybe that's the rub here.
