For someone who just got into game development on Mac, this is very interesting. I'd never heard of this IDE before. Will give it a try.

- danhau 2y agoYou won’t regret it. They’re basically the industry leaders in IDEs. They also make JetBrains Mono, a fantastic monospace coding font.
- jdthedisciple 2y agogood luck, they will expect you to pay $149 / yr even if you don't make a penny off your game all the while you coulda probably just made it in VS code for free...
- askonomm 2y agoI wonder if construction workers also expect someone to give them free hammers and nails if they want to work on hobby projects. I doubt that. So maybe then software engineers shouldn't be so stuck up about not paying for their tools either?
- jdthedisciple 2y agounless there are competitors who do offer free hammers and nails (the VS Code of construction), I think your analogy fails
- askonomm 2y agoThat's fine, and yeah, perhaps my analogy isn't the greatest. But if you're ok with the free tools, why complain about the paid ones not being free as well? That's ridiculous to me at least. The paid ones offer value to clearly enough people to still be in business, and if you don't find that value useful to you, then don't .. use it?
