The language specific apps (pycharm, rubymine?, phpstorm, webstorm) can’t run most other language plugins.

Get IDEA ultimate (also jetbrains) and just install the language plugins you need.

I use this to write php, shell, sql, javascript, css, html, a little ruby, a little python, makefiles, and hopefully some D-Lang soon.

Isn't IDEA to Java what PyCharm is to Python?

Intellij Idea Ultimate is a universal product. Yes, it supports Java (and that support probably can't be turned off), but it allows to install support for almost anything (I think that Objective C and C++ is an exception). You can install PHP, Python and other languages. PyCharm is basically Idea with Python plugin and without ability to install other language plugins.

Thankyou this is a better summary than I’d have written while on my phone.
