What's 'mostly' mean ? What doesn't work ?

Its functional, however there is no native file watcher according a message that comes up while in a project, which supposedly impacts file refresh performance. That is the only reason why I said mostly. 

"6:22 PM	External file changes sync may be slow: Unfortunately, JetBrains does not officially support native file watcher for this architecture. Please follow these instructions to compile it yourself."

At a later point, maybe the ebuild can properly package and build the file watcher. However, product appears to be fully functional.
