Thinking of doing Python within Visual Studio 2022

Python Help

Since Visual Studio can do Python when I installed 2022 I ticked the box next to Python development. Are there any reasons why doing Python in Visual Studio should be avoided?

I’m not a professional developer. I just do programming as a hobby. I think the last time I worked with Python which was about 2 years ago and I used Eclipse.

Just wondering…

I haven’t used it in VS for a few years now. It always seemed a bit clunky/slow. I enjoy using VS Code for my Python dev.

Visual Studio is a mediocre IDE for the languages it is the “default” for (e.g. C#). I wouldn’t use Visual Studio for Python. Consider something like Visual Studio Code or PyCharm instead.
