Completely agree. Also, the fact that Visual Studio Community edition is free, whereas Jetbrains is now on a SaaS model for their products means this is pretty much dead on Windows.
- snuxoll 11y agoYes, community edition is free, to those with fewer than five users or $1mm in gross revenue. Those of us with more than that still have to pay, and I would much rather throw money at JetBrains than have to split it between MS and JetBrains.
- SmellyGeekBoy 11y agoWhile it is indeed free, it comes with online activation and needs to be tied to a Live account (or whatever it's called these days) after the first 30 days. This is a pretty stupid decision IMO, as I discovered a few weeks back on a non-internet-connected dev server. And I say that as a longtime VS fan and advocate! (Of course, I guess JetBrains products would suffer exactly the same problem now with the new SaaS model - I just needed a rant about this particular issue.)
