People think I am nuts for preferring the ISE over VSCode, but the ISE never crashes while running scripts!

You're not, I would also rather have the Powershell team improve ISE than their decision to migrate into VSCode, but alas.

Then you haven't used it enough :) The bare shell on the other hand is usually solid.

That's for sure not true. For my bigger projects (over 200 lines), I tend to use VSCode. Just having a look at the larger projects I've got up on github, I'm over 2000 lines across 3 projects - all developed in Code.

ISE does occasionally hang / crash, but it's quite rare compared to how VSCode behaves across every machine I've used it with. It really seems to be just a Powershell problem, haven't had the same issue in any other language.

When I'm really making great progress on something, having to fart around with killing and restarting the shell constantly is really disruptive. Yes, Code has better and more features, but for me the extra productivity does not overcome the crashy shell.

I think you might be misunderstanding what I didn't say - I use the console for debugging (Set-PsDebug!) and even then it crashes (sometimes.)

I don't like vscode for powershell development and I find the pycharm experience for powershell (lol) much better.
