Hard disagree on speed. PyCharm, in my experience, has better support for refactoring and jump-to-definition/declaration, but it comes at a huge cost in speed.

PyCharm will quite happily lock up, even on a high-end Macbook Pro, as it reindexes everything, just because you had the temerity to add a package to requirements.txt. VSCode chugs right along, staying responsive, picking up the new code in the background.
