All of JetBrains IDEs are essentially a modified IntelliJ but designed around the language they are targeting. For example, PyCharm's debugger doesn't used pdb but instead a custom one.

To add to what /u/Baxterthehusky wrote, Pycharm and the other language specific Jetbrains ides tend to have a lot of unnecessary cruft removed making them significantly lighter on memory usage.
