Some years back, they decided on an IDE-as-a-service path where they were going to brick your IDE the day your subscription lapsed.
No they didn't. This is a total mischaracterisation of how JB's subscription works.

- sangnoir 4y agoI clearly mentioned they walked back the decision within days of the initial announcement. I don't understand how you could possibly have read my comment as describing their current licensing practices, with the tenses I was using.

- lemming 4y agoFair enough - I guess we will have to agree to disagree on whether that warrants never trusting them again.
