I agree with this; I bought the professional license of PyCharm on the basis of its "remote development" functionality which I assumed would meet the (admitted) easy "it just works" standards of everything else in Idea. It never worked, not even close and I ended up dumping it and returning to VS Code because the remote stuff (particularly to linux VMs and containers) was a deal-breaker. Real missed opportunity I thought, it had been a long-standing bug when I looked into it, and very very oversold as functionality present in the professional version.
