I switched to Pycharm Professional a couple of years ago (VS Code before, vim before that) and I can echo this sentiment, it's very good and well worth my money.

An unexpected, charm, if you will, was that it can also replace DBeaver for me. I work a lot with data and a good database interface is worth its weight in gold, that's a major plus for the Jetbrains suite as far as I'm concerned.

A few downsides are the memory usage, the fact that the default editor isn't very ergonomic (easily solved for me thanks to the Vim plugin, but default vs. default VS Code is much better IMO), and the lack of remote capabilities (edit files on a remote machine with your local instance, VS Code is still much better).

Many have criticized the "new UI" but to be honest I don't care much either way, it's just cosmetics.
