I am also ok with one like Jetbrains where you subscribe and after a year you can keep the last version you paid for. They do a lot of updates, so the money is going into the product but one isn't forced to stay in order to use it.

That said I’m a jetbrains fan and like their recent move to include all features in community editions (need licensing for commercial use obviously)
