- crispinb 9y agoThanks, looks interesting. Scriptable in javascript too. I always note with irony that professionals expect to pay decent money (Bitwig is $400) for software relevant to their trade; the one exception being software pros.
- erikbye 9y agoVisual Studio Enterprise is $2999/year, Pro is $539. Might as well add anywhere from $400 to $1500 for the IncrediBuild license.
- crispinb 9y agoIt's really the expectations I was commenting on more than the pricing. I have heard devs on 100k plus whinge about $80 for a professional programmers editor, and rule out IntelliJ IDEs from their consideration because they're not 'free'.
- megaman22 9y agoWhen most "expensive" tools are put in terms of Starbucks lattes, they don't look bad. There's still the actual enterprise-targetted tier, but even up to the full Jetbrains Toolbox subscription, you're looking at what amounts to around a coffee a week.
- pjmlp 9y agoThat is peanuts compared with what other professionals have to pay for quality tools, specially if they require some kind of regular certifications.
- mattgreenrocks 9y agoProgrammers have a deep Stockholm Syndrome for infinitely customizable software. They’ll disparage IDEa while installing enough plugins to turn vim into an incredibly poor one. Also, there’s the typical Real Programmer BS that asserts dev tools peaked in the 70s.
