Could have been funny if you weren't comparing their generic plugin based IDE with one of the pre-set, python ones. The descriptions are fine.
This also ironically highlights exactly the horrors and the business model of the intellij IDEs but that's a rant for another day
IntelliJ IDEA isn't really more generic than PyCharm. It's a Java IDE built on the generic IntelliJ platform. You can load different language plugins in both.
It isn't more generic than its the same IDE but with presets and plugins loaded already. Thats the point, sorry if that was unclear.
I mean IDEA has Java-specific stuff just like PyCharm has Python-specific stuff. As far as I understand, IDEA is just regarded as the default "catch-all" JetBrains IDE because it's the oldest and most well-known, and probably most closely linked to the IntelliJ platform which spawned from it in the first place.
