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 
Visual studio isn’t for Python so no wonder you’re having issues. Try pycharm instead of VS anything.
It sucks for .NET also, I currently waste up to an hour a day switching between different browsers for debugging and restarting the instance, sometimes my whole work laptop if that fails. All my coworkers have equally annoying but apparently unrelated problems, like maybe I could spend a couple days nailing down the issue, my younger self would have, but at this point I just don’t have the motivation. It’s sad because .NET is actually quite good, C# is a very pretty and expressive language, the compiler is nearly flawless, blazor is… not the worst framework for building a UI, even VS itself has some impressive magic it’s just slow and constantly breaks in new and exciting ways no matter what you’re using it for
Don’t forget having every single major release for the last decade installed because your oldest code bases will only run in VS2015 or whatever.
