Okay, which one of you Java devs did this

There should be a language called Cod. And coding could be Coding. Cute little fish mascot too.

IDEA isn't Java-only. Most of the other languages are available as plugins. IDEA is typically the go-to IDE for multilanguage projects.

Except .NET then you can use Rider which is pretty much IDEA but with added support for .NET, which makes it.. better..? Not sure.
- Most of their products are like that. There are a lot of specific language support features in each one that may become available as plugins later on but not at the same pace or “fullness” as the specific product itself.
  For example, PHPStorm has good JavaScript support but if you want really good Typescript support you should probably go with Webstorm.
  Alternatively, I can totally write Rust code in Webstorm through the Rust plugin but I’m better off using CLion that has better support (or now RustRover which will be where all the latest Rust support features are added, although it’s still a preview product afaik).
  Also worth noting though that there are indeed some “tiers”. Like Webstorm won’t support PHP but PHPStorm will support JavaScript/Typescript (again, not fully but enough to maintain a front end operating off your PHP backend)
- clion is also strictly separated.
This. I use IntelliJ for Java, Kotlin, typescript, Python, HTML etc… it just does everything and does it better than other IDEs.
Or available in the paid version
I prefer phpstorm for multi language personally.

as a python programmer.....^yes

There's a big difference between IntelliJ and PyCharm.
IntelliJ is a Java IDE written in Java by people who are used to how Java works.
PyCharm is a Python IDE written in Java by people who are used to how Java works.
One of them is good.

Could have been funny if you weren't comparing their generic plugin based IDE with one of the pre-set, python ones. The descriptions are fine.

This also ironically highlights exactly the horrors and the business model of the intellij IDEs but that's a rant for another day

IntelliJ IDEA isn't really more generic than PyCharm. It's a Java IDE built on the generic IntelliJ platform. You can load different language plugins in both.
- It isn't more generic than its the same IDE but with presets and plugins loaded already. Thats the point, sorry if that was unclear.

JetBrains IDE's summarized:

Ah yes, an IDE for coding, as opposed to all those other things there are IDEs for

Python is a virus

I'll bite, which programming language should people use instead of Python?
- Well, obviously, we should all exclusively program in Haskell.
- Python is considered a programming language? I still classify it as scripting lol
  That said, i'd personally use good old c/c++ or even c#/.net over python lol
