Yep, I got intellij to work with python/rust/scala and it's frustrating to see it pulled out like that. Not sure why they need to sell so many IDEs that are almost identical. Would've been happy with some upcharge for a "premium" plugin but I don't want to install three IDEs like they apparently want me to.

from what I understood there is “Intellij IDEA Ultimate” which allows you to enable all the features of the specific IDEs as if they are plugins.
No, this only works for a few languages supported as plugins. Most of JetBrains IDEs are separate even if built on a same core. I have all products license and still can't use a single app to access all languages.
even with the supported plug-ins it's still not the same either. intellij with python plugin has just enough differences with it that it throws off some of my coworkers who use pycharm.
