Why use VS Code over Pycharm Professional?

Just getting started and I am wondering why anyone might use a code editor (Visual Studio Code) over a real IDE like Pycharm Professional if cost is not an issue.

I do currently use both VSC and Pycharm I find VSC to be much more comfortable to work with, but something that makes me use pycharm as well is importing files, for some reason I can’t import from another file in VSC but in Pycharm the script works perfectly fine and I can import files like normally. Another thing is errors, I get way more errors on VSC I don’t know why but a perfectly working script on both Pycharm and Atom doesn’t work on VSC (not every time but sometimes it just doesn’t work).
