I really wanted to use VS code with Python so I could use the debugger, but configuration see magical. I really want to like it. In the end it seems that my Django project is configured to kill VS Code when it starts up, even the menu hangs.

It might be nice editor, but it hide to much information for my taste. "You need to setup a launch.json file", well fine, but at least be a little more helpful than that, don't just open an empty file. Starting the debugger either crashed the editor or do nothing, but never informs me as to what the issue might be.

At this point Vim and shell is easier to get started with.
