Visual Studio may be great for C# or C++ (I use it for both), but I forced myself to use it for python for a couple of months and did not like it at all. Nor have I ever seen it even mentioned in any Top X IDE's for Python articles.
In visual studio code the terminal is in the IDE, if I want. As many terminals as I want. Whatever type of terminal I like to use. When I run a program no windows pop up unless my program makes windows. If there is something you don't like about Code, somebody probably made an extension to fix it. I can pick my linting tool, my unit test tool, my keyboard mapping. Using kite I get autocomplete and code snippets and access to documentation that I think is slightly better than Visual Studio.
And the best thing about Code is if I don't want to be distracted by all that stuff I can enter Zen mode with the click of a button and all I have is an editor and a run button, or maybe two editors, or more.
