vscode was honestly my first experience in 8 years of coding where i went - "huh, i don't have to learn much and i don't hate this"
VS Code has never made me hate it, but I have come to hate configuring it to work with two different languages that have their own REPL simultaneously (Python and PowerShell). Their modules seem to argue with one another or cause the other to crash or hang unexpectedly. It's extremely frustrating.
