Not a JetBrains employee, but which features are you specifically looking for? I've never found a single option in the IDE that's available through a menu that cannot be assigned a shortcut.

I just want them to make a stand-alone git client - their 3 way merge for merge conflicts is second to none.

You can use only the merge functionality - it can be launched from git (via mergetool).

I tried to convert from VS Code to PyCharm a while back - I didn't (too familiar with VSC), but I stuck with the merge view for some time - it's absolutely amazing!

I think its a step down from Beyond Compare, I've set that up as the diff tool in Intellij before, I might have to do that again in my current environment.

Absolutely! It's an amazing tool, but in my opinion the tight integration actually makes it harder to use at times.

Indeed. And it seems that it is quite separate already UI wise. So why not.
