It contains mostly open source code. The proprietary binary MS distributes adds very little proprietary stuff to it. You can use the open source version Code - OSS just fine or use VSCodium which is based on that
If you’re on Linux, you can download it as a flatpak or if you’re on arch through the package manager. Maybe it’s also in the repositories of other distros but I can’t check that. I also have no idea how to download it on Windows. I would recommend getting VSCodium anyway though. It’s also available as a flatpak, in the AUR and on their website for Windows.
I did for a few years. Eventually I had to switch to VSCode because any given Jetbrains product is only good at a single language, and constantly switching Jetbrains products is a nightmare. Now that I’ve been using VSCode for a while, there are some extension that are so critical to my workflow Jetbrains is virtually useless to me without them.
You’re the second person to say this and it’s just wrong. With the Ultimate Edition, you can install the plugins for whichever languages you want and stick to a single editor without switching.
VSCode is an open source IDE. Its biggest rival is the JetBrains suite. When the alternatives are proprietary, VSCode is a win.
VScode isn’t foss. It just contains some open source code.

How do you know what’s in VScode? Its still proprietary.
I mean, that’s what I’m doing
Most of Jetbrain’s tools have community editions as well.
The community editions are still proprietary, and they put the most useful tools behind the paywall.
VScode is proprietary as well.

Let me google that for you, Jetbrains provides a convenient list: https://www.jetbrains.com/products/compare/?product=pycharm&product=pycharm-ce
From the link you shared:
PyCharm community is amazing.
Have you tried any of the JetBrains products, they are great.

Have you tried JetBrains Fleet yet?
I had a job that required me to use JetBrains. I would’ve preferred to use VSCode.
The jetbrains default hotkeys is in direct conflict to the “typical defaults” for hotkeys you see in the world
I know, they have keymaps for everything, including a VIM map and vim mode!
Defaults are very important.
