THIS is why i will never buy a JetBrains license - EVER! Fuck these cunts.I will pirate the shit out of their software and never pay them a single cent because they are the cuntiest of the cunts. Even worse than Adobe.
I'm also done keeping up with the JetBrains choo-choo licensing train.
Genuinely great IDE's with a ton of thought put into them, but holy crap, their licensing is dogshit.
My solution is to never upgrade. The version associated with your license is perpetual so just keep using that.
@UncleIroh true but if you read the license, the version you have is a year old. So if you buy license in 2024, keep paying one year(minimum to retain the license), then unsubscribe, the version you have rights to is the one from 2024, not the one from 2025 when you decided to cancel subscription. This is another way they fuck you. Personally, I use maybe 5% of the IDE functionality so I have ZERO reasons to pay. I would use VScode/OpenCode but the UI it crap. I cannot stand it.
I gave VSCode a decent try but never got on with it. Electron-based apps are mostly dogshit.
I've not tried KATE but as a long-time sublime-text user I'm good with that.
Also most people use a fraction of a complex IDE, and since most of the upgrades are AI related there's no point getting sucked into riding the licensing choo-choo train.
