Reason one: I write in half a dozen of languages, and PyCharm supports but one of them. Yes, totally.

Yeah, that's probably a good point even if you are downvoted. Plus performance is usually bad compared to Sublime and a lot of muscle memory can't be translated easily to another editor. Finally, a lot of integrated tools (Like SQL or Git integration) reach quickly their limit and you have to use the regular tools/CLI anyway.

Nope, you can install any language support. You can have the same support for Java as Intellij.

  > Nope, you can install any language support. OK. Show me support for OCaml, Rust, Erlang, shell, make, or CFEngine. Granted, I only write in half of these, but I'm not that far away from the rest.

      What about the rest? And Erlang plugin doesn't seem to give much that would suit Erlang development (syntax highlighting and identifier completion is not much, I would still need to go to command line for about every operation).

        Guess the .1% of programmers who write Erlang aren't the target market?

        Of course they are not. But why then am I supposed to be using PyCharm, as the title says?

    Just open one file of these, PyCharm will display a nice popup "A plugin is available to support <x>. Would you like to get it?" Yes! It worked for ini, dockerfile and terraform HCL (which I consider more exotic than the languages you gave). Not sure whether shell and Makefile were a plugin or already present out of the box.
