I stopped using jet brains because they went to subscription
- sitkack 4y agoIntelliJ is Apache Licensed, https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community That seems like a pretty spiteful thing to do for a (F|f)ree Software.
- midhhhthrow 4y agoFirst they tell me I can use their IDE forever if I pay for it. Then they go back on their word and prevented me from using the thing I already paid for. They’re being spiteful to their customers
- tm-guimaraes 4y agoYou can still use the versions you paid for…
- tm-guimaraes 4y agoThat makes no sense. Before you payed for a version of the IDE and a year of updates. Now you pay for a year of use and you get the most updated version of your last subscription day for ever. Basically the difference to buying every year is that you don’t keep old versions. You still get to keep/own the version of your last paying day. And you get discounts… Unless there are really bad feature changes, there is really no reason to prefer the old model
- mywittyname 4y agoYou still get a perpetual license for the version that was out when you purchased the subscription.
- midhhhthrow 4y agoThat has not been my experience
