It's a bit pricey.

Like other tradesmen I'm glad to pay for tools which make me more productive. Nova is the best code editor on the Mac in my humble (but correct) opinion and it has paid for itself many, many times over.

  Fair enough. In my case, if every thing that makes me productive would cost $100 a year, I would be broke.

  At $100, its coming in close to IntelliJ all product pack (I've had it since the Mayan end of the world). Its also quite a bit more than BBEdit (which I've had since If it was closer to BBEdit (which I've had since System 6 days), I'd consider switching the text editor - it looks nice. For me, the price per year compared to products that I already have that have more functionality would be for something that I don't use as much. It looks nice. If it was in the $25-$50/year, I'd be considering it for the situations where I open up VSCode instead of BBEdit for some functionality there... but the price for where it is in my toolchain doesn't replace something worth that much per year.

    You own Nova for life at $99, it's only a recurring cost if you want updates. Subsequent years are $49. ...Whereas the all product pack is $250 a year to use.

      I don't think many people don't want updates. I would guess that if someone is willing to pay $100 for it (because the person likes the features that Nova has over their other tools), that it's likely that person will also want the new shiny features every year. Also, I wouldn't be surprised that some plugins might take advantages of some new features.

        I rarely add plugins to my IDE, I could see myself lapsing in payment. Making the distinction between licensing and ownership is important either way.

      The all product pact for an individual who has had it for more than 3 years is $150/year. I bought IntelliJ on Dec 19, 2012 in their end of the world clearance sale ( https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2012/12/20/jetbrains-end-of-the-world-clearance-sale-24-hours-only/ https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2012/12/20/jetbrains-end-of-... ) Though yes, the price if you're comparing a new purchase is $250/y. Still, it's trying to get in the spot somewhere in the lineup of IntelliJ, BBEdit ($30 for an upgrade license, $50 for a new one, good for about 2-3 years with updates), and VSCode.
