I know HN has grown so this may not be as true as before, but we're a community of builders! We should all understand the time and effort put into each of these projects. You'll tip a delivery person but won't support the people spending thousands of hours building the tools that makes your life tangibly better?

- elashri 4y agoI think of HN to more of a community of rational people. Rational people pay for what they believe would get value to their workflow or just support a principle or an idea like open source. I hardly can see any of that applies to Jetbrains products. many people here stated (which I agree) that Vscode and vim/emacs is better for them technically and for being open source.
