This looks very nice. Good job shipping it!

For me personally, though, it's a hard sell. Since I just paid my JetBrains renewal, I am currently very aware that I'm paying $173/year for *all* of their IDEs, and PyCharm Pro is very good.

Just from looking through the site for this one, while it does some *SUPER* nice things, it doesn't replace everything I use from just PyCharm Pro, let alone from the other JetBrains tools that I also use and get in that subscription.

So it costs more than my current subscription, and wouldn't let me replace it even if the Linux version suddenly shipped today.

I love the competition in this space and wish you good luck. But, as someone who's obviously willing to pay for tools in this space, the only ways I could suggest that you could get my business would be:

1. Grow your feature set to the point that I could replace my JetBrains subscription with yours.

2. Become a JetBrains add-on, and reduce your price to something less than $10/mo.

Both of those look like tough roads... I hope you succeed wildly, even so.
