PyCharm/WebStorm lets you debug node processes in the same way as python processes, so debugging tests doesn't seem to be much different for me. For code running in a browser, you can do in-IDE debugging with PyCharm/WebStorm via a run configuration [1], although I tend to not bother and just use the Chrome devtools instead, which I find to be very high-quality. My company does a lot of JS and Python, and I've found that people tend to be more comfortable using a debugger with JS because you can just open Chrome devtools, set a breakpoint, and go. In Python, you need good editor support or you need to use a command line debugger, so there's a larger barrier to entry.
