I've spent years programming Python in VSCode. After years of programming Python in Sublime. It's very good. Plenty of plugins, pretty effortless to get project-wide intellisense, jump-to nav, etc. You can customize linting for certain classes of errors easily. My absolute favorite feature has been VSCode's hover tooltips that show documentation of just about everything--not just for standard lib, but all your dependencies, and all your project code. I just can't go back to not seeing the docstrings on classes and functions when I hover over them--it's effortless to review purpose, order of arguments, and whatever else has been documented.
EDIT: For fairness of comparison, while I find VSCode is superior for QoL via its impressive defaults and great extension ecosystem, SublimeText is vastly superior where navigating code is concerned--opening a file, and the instant preview of the file as Sublime fuzzy matches what you're typing is unmatched. Navigating symbols in Sublime is also light-years faster--instant, compared to VSCode making me wait every time I try to find a symbol while it loads them up--even in files that I frequently have open and expect it should just know what's there by now. Also, if I'm going to open a very large file, like an SQL dump or something similar, I won't even try that in VSCode. I reach for Sublime.
