Not the OP, but I'm also not really a fan of subscription model of any software products even though I'm OK with paying for upgrades every year. With subscription model I no longer own the software the moment I stopped paying, even if I already paid monthly fee to equivalent of perpetual license pricing.
But on the other hand, considering I'm already paying $158 for two of their products every year (IDEA and AppCode), being able to pay $149 (discounted rate) and also get a separate app for RubyMine and PyCharm seems like a very nice offer. (Since Ruby/Python plugins in IDEA always lacked few versions behind.)
Nevertheless, I'm sad that to see another one of my most-used software goes away from perpetual license to subscription model.
