It seems they haven't had a sale in ages, which is a shame because I really want Pycharm but won't pay full wack for it.

- vruiz 12y agoFor pycharm, the community edition has done me an excellent service. but it's true that I'm far from a power user.

- rebootthesystem 12y agoSorry, not picking on you, but statements like yours kind of bug me. You want a quality product yet refuse to pay what the developers have determined is both fair for their development and continued evolution and support for their product? Well, then, use something else. Disclosure: No relationship to Jetbrains other than being a happy customer who paid "full wack". I do wish they'd improve their support though. My experience has been it's mostly crickets for a while before you hear back.
- turnip1979 12y agoI'm surprised why this upsets you? You are making a fundamental assumption that price is somehow connected to input costs. This is not true for anything other than commodities. An experienced marketer was giving a talk in one of my biz classes in school when someone asked him how one much one can sell X for. His response was ... however much you can sell it for :-p So tldr ... pricing for all non-essential goods is a game played by the seller and buyer. No one should be upset :)
