The definitive IDE for JVM development, now featuring a 'Unified Distribution' where professional tools are unlocked via subscription. Known for its unparalleled static analysis and the new 'Junie' AI agent, it remains the gold standard for complex enterprise Java/Kotlin, though its heavy resource footprint and high cost drive hobbyists toward AI-first editors.

The industry's leading Python IDE, now unified into a single product. The late 2025 version features native MCP (Model Context Protocol) support for connecting AI agents like Claude or Cursor directly to the IDE's internal index. It includes world-class support for Django, Flask, and FastAPI, alongside a powerful Data Science suite. While it is more resource-heavy than VS Code, its built-in Jupyter Notebook support is now free for all users in the unified edition.
