I have truly loved using Jetbrains IDEs for Java, Go, Typescript and have subscribed to the full toolkit at personal expense for many years (it was the grandfathered pretty cheap price that ends this year). But when trying to use it for Python, the code intelligence was so poor I finally gave VSCode a try. It was much better at Python analysis at the time though I assume Pycharm has improved since then. But I'm not going back - Jetbrains still tends to have better refactoring, good features like running individual Go table tests, etc. But it's a killer feature for me in a team to be able to share a workspace or settings JSON file in a repo to get all developers on the same page. .idea has never worked well and I suspect most people assume it won't work.

If Jetbrains reimagines their settings persistence story, I'd be happy to give that a try since otherwise it's quite great still!
