Everybody here ist right.
But:
Real Developers need real IDEs.
VSC is great, but quite a lot of work to do, until it is correct for your needs.
Linters, Stubs are great, but no so easy to install as one would like it.
Conclusion:
Playing with your MicroPython does not really need such a great IDE.
For beginners Thonny is easy to use, no fee.
Works with your local python.
Works with your local MicroPython.
And it can easily connect to your board via serial connection or USB-Serial Adaptor.
Contains up- and download of files.
Of course, this is not pure doctrine. But especially for the beginning it is very fast and easy.
It is easier for the mouse users to cope with it.
Happy playing (coding?)

Re: What the best IDE for ESP32 micro python developing ?
A real IDE is made to manage and develop real or/and large projects.
As an old returnee to programming, micropython and the development boards were an interesting start with quick results.
I worked for quite some time to configure VSC optimally for me. The goal was not really achieved because there are just too many views about the optimal configuration. And as a self-taught user, there was also no one there for me to look over his/here shoulder.
Then I got into the zen of programming and tried it with the holy grail of the mouseless environment: VIM, zsh for Pros, etc. To much to learn for me.
Mini-Conda and Jupyter notebooks and Jupiter-Lab are great. There are kernels for micropython with access to the devices via USB serial. Quite a lot of work to set up, but data science feeling in ESP32 is a nice experience.
For those who want it easier, I think Thonny remains as a small IDE with many possibilities. Incl. firmware flash.
Or very basal: CoolTerm.
Both are easy and without costs installable, need hardly place on the hard disk and in the RAM.
