Out of curiosity, what is the reason, you don't want to pay?
Is it your financial restriction or that there is something philosophical about sticking with free stuff whenever possible?
Once you figure that if anything makes your days better by spending $10 or so a month, not choosing the best tool for the job sounds simply dumb.
I have a friend who sticks with plain vim uncustomized because he doesn't want to deviate from the default in fear of not being able to seamlessly use other environment sounds utterly stupid wasting productivity for 99% of the time being on his own machine.
- komali2 10y agoI'm all about paying for things that add value - I haven't been convinced webstorm will add value. I am very fortunate in my means right now, but I come from a poor family, and spending money is emotionally trying for me. I gain pleasure from pushing my monthly expenses down as tight as I can. It seems melodramatic but paying for webstorm might just stress me out - I'd constantly feel a need to justify it, like when I tried subbing to World of Warcraft - I'd catch myself calculating fun per dollar. Euck. Anyway I'm a simple front end dev so I don't think it's necessary for now. As I branch out into Python perhaps Webstorm's tools will add tremendous value, I have seen some cool stuff but I just don't need it for now.
