Pycharm gets little love, esp comapred to the free alternative, VS code.
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's par for the course with JetBrains. I'm a big fan of PyCharm, don't get me wrong. It was the first IDE I've tried out of maybe a dozen that actually gave me a reason to convert from Vim with plugins and a number of self-written project mgmt/organization tools.
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.
