Hey @pauleveritt @jetbrains, am I understanding correctly that only these 4 IDEs (see attachment) offer a free license for Open Source developers?

I'm interested in PyCharm as I maintain mostly Python projects.

What's the use for those in corporate env, that's not available outside of it?

there's simply weird restrictions in community editions vs the professional one.

I have been working in python for the past year and pycharm community doesn't give syntax highlighting or intellisense for web frameworks like Flask or Django and tries to push the professiona edition. I felt like they shouldn't do that since VSCode supports it easily and I don't gain much having the heavyweight IDE vs something like nvim or vscode.

Yeah, that sounds like a crappy way to promote the product
