I don't like the idea that my IDE is a tool that will stop working if I stop paying the ransom for it. This model may be the future, but it's a very icky feeling that I can't purchase to own software that runs entirely on my desktop, since that's been the model for YEARS. Paying annually for support and to receive upgrades feels very reasonable. My IDE ceasing to function because I've stopped paying annually does not.
