I'm certainly sympathetic to the frustration of having to support every previous version of your software. If upgrades cost money, then people are incentivized to stay on old versions and then complain about bugs that have been fixed since then, and you can't tell them "just upgrade" because they don't want to pay to upgrade. Web companies almost never need to support old versions of the website, for example, and that makes them much easier to manage from an engineering and customer support standpoint.

PyCharm includes all of the features of WebStorm because it's so common for Python developers to also do JS work, so you probably should just be using PyCharm. That's what I do at my work. (It's also why PyCharm is more expensive than WebStorm.)

If you find that WebStorm works better, you probably need to install the node.js plugin in PyCharm (which is free). It's included by default in WebStorm but not in PyCharm.

I don't think the poster ever actually said that fish isn't meat, and I guess a lot of people are interpreting your question as a hostile challenge of the idea of pescatarianism (along the lines of "Why don't you think that cheeseburgers are murder?").

If you are struggling to understand pescatarianism as an idea, my perspective is that flexitarianism, pescatarianism, vegetarianism, and flexiveganism are all compromise diets that get some but not all environmental and ethical benefits of veganism. Different people have different levels of commitment and make different tradeoffs in their life choices. Whether that's "the only meat I eat is fish" or "I eat fish but not meat" is just a matter of definitions.

In terms of the English word "meat", there is certainly some ambiguity. At least as I know the term, it feels like a stretch (but maybe technically correct) to count fish as meat. I've had people suggest sushi when I say that I'm vegetarian, unaware that vegetarians don't eat fish. If you google for the Food Pyramid, most diagrams call out meat and fish as different things. "Vegetarian" almost always doesn't allow fish, but "meat" just isn't a very precise word.
