I’m happy to pay for good software and support. Especially for things I rely on like IntelliJ. Not only has it been better than Eclipse for years but it keeps getting better because there’s a whole company full of people whose business it is to make it better.
If there’s a bug I can report it and reasonably expect a fix. With pure OSS software you often just get some fuck head telling you “PRs welcome”. I get it. I have my own open source projects in addition to my day job. Sometimes I just want to be able to expect support for the things I need and not try to learn every codebase of every piece of software I use so I can fix a bug.
