Spyder is good for inspecting, coming close to Matlab (for the rather simple stuff I use it for) but it's a lacking on the code editing/browsing/plugin front. VSCode on the other hand is pretty good for the latter, is still lacking what I look for in Spyder and Matlab (i.e. if I'm debugging something, I just want a REPL in which I can type with full syntax completion, enter multiline text etc). As a result I mostly use both at the same time.. Though I wouldn't be surprised if VSCode is going to get better at one point, on github there are already multiple issues dedicated to this with at least some activity of the team.
