Another reason that came to mind from reading other people's replies: I do programming in many languages. I do Typescript, Javascript, PHP, Python, Ruby, Bash, and occasionally something else as well. Most of the IDEs are designed for a single or couple of languages and just don't feel good with other ones.
I use IntelliJ Idea Ultimate and I do all the listed languages in this IDE. So this seems to be a fallacy, or it’s just a unique IDE that beats all others, I’m not sure, I didn’t use other IDEs. Platforms/languages that I use in a single IDE with the same shortcuts and behaviors:
Java/Kotlin for Backend/Android;
Javascript/ES6/Typescript for Backend/Frontend;
Python and Ruby for Scripting/Backend;
Objective-C/Swift for MacOS/iOS;
Golang for CLI/high-performance-backend;
PHP for backend or plugin dev.
I used to try Eclipse and PyCharm back in the day and even though I could build Python things in Eclipse, it felt like it was built for writing Java and vice versa. Sure, I have not used IntelliJ Idea Ultimate so maybe my experience is just outdated.
Does the IntelliJ Idea Ultimate have functionality for build tools, running tests, etc that are equally good for all languages or does it feel bit biased to one direction?
Yes, it generally does. I can switch seamlessly between different languages and run my build/test with the same shortcuts. Main refactorings are present in most of the languages. As well as auto-imports.
Of course, Java/Kotlin has top-notch support. Then Ruby/Python/Php has 2nd-place support because they are dynamic. Then you have all the other languages with medium-level support: Golang, Swift, etc.
Basically, Ultimate edition contains all the other JetBrains product inside of it in a form of a plugin you can install. Used PyCharm/RubyMine/PhpStorm/WebStorm/Goland/etc?—that’s a Python/Ruby/Php/Javascript-Typescript/Golang/etc plugin in Ultimate.
