I am fine with the subscription model of IntelliJ and their IDEs.
The progress is real and if you stop paying, you lose the ability to upgrade your IDE, but the older versions still work.
- edude03 4y agoYep this. I don't mind paying a subscription as long as the vendor can't hold my data hostage. An IDE for example - I won't lose my source code if the company goes out of business but something like figma? Roam? I find those types of SaaS really hard to have faith in
- thot_experiment 4y agoThey're one of the only companies that seem to have a pro-consumer, or at least balanced implementation of SaaS. I'm not familiar with the specifics, but if I can install the older versions I already paid for, sgtm. I don't have a use for IntelliJ but if I did I would almost certainly pay.
