Now I read an article that basically explains that Django is declining because of its poor support in VS Code, that cannot be a good sign.
I actually like, use, and pay for PyCharm, but it annoys me when JB chase new (ds) customers with DataSpell, or teams management stuff with "Space", When long standing, trivial Pycharm bugs have gone unfixed for years; https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/PY-14743 [0]. I have no hope Pycharm will innovate any time soon, and will eventually fall behind more motivated IDEs.
Also, the whole "IDE specific to one language/domain" thing is a little Janky when, IDEA with plugins vs the "specialised" IDEs can differ so much. I feel JB are trying to build a single code base to spawn multiple, separately marketed, product more than any advantage to end-users. For a while I had to keep switching from PyCharm to IDEA just for Jenkinsfile support..

That said, JetBrains often rolls out new things while sitting on long-standing bugs. There's three or four issues in PyCharm and TeamCity that I've been tracking for a couple of years that are older than my kids. Hell, I think one of the TeamCity issues is almost old enough to get a learner's permit.
I'll just nitpick on their bagging on Pycharm. Pycharm is great. Frankly, I like it better than VS Code; though I do grant VS Code has its strengths, especially as a lightweight capable code editor.
