Couple interesting things about the Jetbrains licenses.
- The yearly cost is purely for updates. Meaning you could just pay one time, get updates for a year and then continue using whatever version you have.
- For small teams they offer a 50% discount (less than 10 people, in business less than 5 years)
- If this is perhaps an open source project you can get it for free.
I got sucked into the Jetbrains family because of just how good their PhpStorm is. Especially in regards to refactoring and debugging tools.
I only wish their Javascript tools were anywhere near as good as their Php tools.
- eitland 7y ago> I only wish their Javascript tools were anywhere near as good as their Php tools. I guess this is partially because JavaScript is a much harder language to write good tooling for, but I'm open for other explanations.
- NightlyDev 7y agoThis isn't completely correct. A few years ago JetBrains changed the license. You get the version available when you pay, and then you get a year of updates, which you can only continue using if you renew the license. So you can only use the version available as of the moment you pay for a license.
