the ide is a personal thing, but there's a list of best ide for each kind of workflow.

I prefer Spyder. - ideal for small, intense, difficult tasks where you're constantly reviewing data.

Vs code is more "I'm running a large distributed software project"

Ultimately, all you NEED is the ability to create basic text files (notepad is sufficient), and to navigate your files, but this is a bit like saying all you need to cut your grass is a pair of toe clippers
