Happy to see this hit the front page! If you have any thoughts about how you'd like us to improve Python support in VS Code please let us know.. with the additional resources we're hoping to accelerate the development quite a bit.

I'd like autocomplete that I know what it's going to do. The current plugin is inconsistent, with better results when you type more slowly.

If I hit "tab" somewhere besides the beginning of a line, I should get autocomplete options. If it hasn't pondered enough in the background to give me autocomplete options yet, it should unobtrusively tell me so. It should not insert spaces instead.

The game changer for Python VSCode would be to run Jupyter Notebooks natively and can save/read .ipynb files. (The current Jupyter extension by Don allows code to be run as cells, but doesn’t save cell output/allow text cells)

YES! I'd love to see the native Jupyter and REPL experience improve as well.

That was tge reason I switched over to PyCharm and back to regular, browser based notebooks.

I get this weird issue when there is an exception - vs code debugging just stops and there is no exception message in the output/debug/... window etc. Perhaps simplifying the various windows would be helpful.

We don't have directly control over most of the Windows (they are controlled by VS Code itself). But feel free to file an issue at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-python.
