- thomascgalvin 4y agoI know you're joking, but as a US dev I am very well compensated, and I don't even blink at giving JetBrains a hundred bucks a year for IntelliJ. Good tools make my life better. I'm not a sublime user, but if I was, if it was critical to my workflow, I would absolutely pay for it.
