I switched because my workplace has licenses for VSPro, and IT doesn’t want us grabbing our own stuff off the internet.
What a disappointment! it’s worse, and harder to use in almost every way. For the record I’m coding in Python and just need git integration and a debugger.
It’s such a step back in design language and usability. Love to ignore free software in favor of its expensive “professional” counterpart 
I never really equated VS with python, powershell or any “script like” language, that was always the realm of vs.code. The full blown VS on the other hand was designed for .NET, C, creating executables, DLLs or other large scale programs in which you need deep debugging, memory stack and other highly integrated components.
Basically it’s different tools for different jobs. Using VS for python is like using an over engineered power tool to tighten the screw on a wall plate.
