I get so much value out of JetBrains products that if a price increase is what is needed or them to stay on business I can accept that. (The products are paid by my employer so this only affects indirectly)
It might be an unpopular opinion but I appreciate the transparency of the post. There are other companies which products I use that I’m afraid are not financially sustainable and thus I’m afraid for an email saying that the products has been discontinued.
There’s always the possibility of open source, home brewed or whatever, but when it comes to getting stuff done sometimes paying is cheaper than the time/effort of an alternative.
Best of luck jetbrains!
- a4a4a4a4 4y agoAgreed. I also get a license from my employer, but continue to pay for the all products pack separately because they make such nice stuff, and I'm happy to support them in this small, mostly symbolic way.
- dc-programmer 4y agoSame. For me, it’s the JavaScript development experience that really sets Jetbrains apart. I’m sure other IDEs can offer parity with the compiled languages, but if I’m using an IDE in the first place, I’m probably working on a web app, and getting first class support for both the frontend and backend in the same window is huge for productivity.
