That's a bit of a different case though. If major core features depend
on the python2 dependency, it makes sense to keep them.

It's more of a question with pycharm, because the only thing you gain in
pycharm is... the ability to edit/manipulate python2 code using it.

With medit, everyone would lose out on the integrated terminal. This
seems like a clear case to continue shipping it.

With pycharm, only people developing on legacy python2 codebases lose
out. Hence why it's a question.
