It is seen that Power Shell is the normal mode for Integrated Terminal in VS-Code.
Although one can transition to Python Shell by typing python at the prompt, it could be even more convenient to set the normal action for the terminal to open in such mode, especially if bulk of the activity is devoted to python.
If & when the need for cmd prompt or power shell arises, the same can be activated from convenient shortcuts (It would also provide the option to Run As Administrator).
On the other hand, setting the terminal to open at command prompt, offers the flexibility that you can move to & fro between any of the three modes as & when needed (i.e. Cmd Prompt, PowerShell and PythonShell).
