Really? I’ve had employers pay for my Jetbrains subscription.
- ecmascript 2y agoBut with Jetbrains products, you pay or the entire software, not just part of it .
- herval 2y agoCommunity edition is free, and it’s a sizable chunk of the entire product
- ecmascript 2y agoThe difference is, all the important features are behind a paywall. This will not be the case for Zed it seems. I have never worked at a place that uses Jetbrains products which does not pay for their premium offering.
- Philip-J-Fry 2y agoWith Jetbrains you're paying for the IDE. Zed's vision is that the editor is free and you're paying basically for Teams-lite. If you're a big company, you're already using a service like Teams, Slack, Zoom, etc. If you're a small company, then there's free alternatives like Discord. And say you want to talk to someone other than a programmer, then you'd need something else anyway. Because a project manager wouldn't need an IDE installed.
