I see a lot of people using it. As someone who does python, Go and js with jetbrains IDEs, would VSCode be better?

I use it for Go, easy to set up and feels awesome.

I don't write JS but there's a lot of extensions for it, related libraries (React, Angular, Vue, etc) and languages that compile to JS (TS). There's also keymap extensions to emulate keybinds from other IDEs. You should try it at least.

I do my JS in VSCode, but I don't think I can ever walk away from PyCharm. I feel spoiled by it.

Outside of using VSCode for JS and Typescript, I use it as a catch-all. If I don't have a better preference, then VSCode usually handles it well enough.

I moved from WebStorm to VS Code and haven't looked back. Code is generally faster than any IDE I've used (at least for JS work). My understanding is the Go support is very good. No idea on Python. There should be extensions for both that should be easy to install. Code has become hands down my favorite editor. I don't use the debug often, but it's passable. Just depends on your needs and use. I'd suggest giving it a try for a couple weeks (just to get past any initial pain points).

I've actually migrated to it from emacs for rust stuff - the RLS integration is really nice and it works well enough on both osx and linux. I tried to use the git UI that it provides, but in the end preferred to manage my vcs from the terminal. I'm reasonably happy with it - and I didn't think this was going to be the case when I first tried it out.

  The GitLens extension is fairly well featured if you are still curious about improving your non-terminal git experience.

    Thanks I'll check it out!

I use IntelliJ on all languages I use on Mac but VSCode's font rendering is more natural and better. There's something weird about Java's rendering implementation for not being crisp. And VSCode doesn't take 30s to launch.

I have been using VSCode with the Golang extension for around 2 years now and have been exceptionally satisfied with it. I did use the JetBrains Goland for around 3 months since I heard some praise from my co-workers but found that it'd didn't contribute much. The debugging works as well in VSCode as it does in Goland but yes, delve (the debugger backend) crashes sometimes when debugging goroutine heavy code. Completions, refactorings, renames, linting and goimports all work flawlessly. Would seriously recommend VSCode + Golang. For JavaScript and family VSCode is the best from what the Frontend team in my organisation tells me.
