That, plus the fact their tools are really good and really help me mean that I'm very happy about this news.
I remember the time I noticed the UK price was significantly more expensive than the $ price for a piece of their software. I contacted their sales and they let me pay in dollars. That, plus the fact their tools are really good and really help me mean that I'm very happy about this news.

PyCharm is a no-nonsense, straightforward IDE, that's a pleasure to use. They somehow manage to avoid annoying feature bloat and crapware. No nagging, no bullshit, they are actually creating features that improve workflows instead of features to tick boxes on corporate purchasing department meeting room flipcharts or buzzword bingo. Remarkable and I really hope they don't get bought-and-killed by one of the giants. O…
The thing that most impresses me about JetBrains' products, after the very real "This was made by developers" feel to them, and the excellent community interaction, and the regular and plentiful updates.. is the price. They don't price gouge their users. They could double their prices and still have plenty of sales (but I guess they'd probably lose a lot of personal licenses.)

Ok so everyone knows and loves JetBrains. What's their worst product so far?
I always disliked the name IntelliJ IDEA by JetBrains. It has a product name, a comany name, and something else that until today (15 years after I used it for the first time) is still unclear to me.
