How is Visual Studio? (kbin.social)

So I started my coding journey with Python about 2 years ago. I primarily used IDLE which was super bare bones but was perfect for my needs.

I'm now toying around with Javascript with eventual aspirations to learn C# and maybe something else (Golang maybe, C++ is intimidating). I completed codecademy.com's course on Javascript, have been running through some algo training on codewars, been playing a little BitBurner, but now I want to actually try to develop my own stuff.

Looks like Visual Studio has an environment that supports Javascript, Python, and C# in one place. How is it? What are some of the positives and negatives of choosing to use Visual Studio moving forward?

I prefer Visual Studios over VS Code for c++. VS code has limited importable modules and even the std namespace isn't fully there. So the free community version of actual Visual Studios is better. In my opinion, VS Code is just a glorified text editor that I can use for html, JavaScript or docker stuff.

For Python, I've been using Spyder. I don't love it, but it is better than Idle by a long shot. It comes standard with the Anaconda version.
