    JetBrains might not be my friend but they don’t hold anywhere near the dev tool monopoly Adobe does for artists. Know what happens if JetBrains starts to blow massive ass? I finally sit down and figure out how to get my terminal editor working with my LSP. Yeah I lose some productivity but not as much as I’d lose by using Visual Studio or fuckn Eclipse.

      I think another key difference is everyone can use whatever tool they like and still work on the same codebase. They don’t have proprietary file formats that lock in you and your entire team forever.

      Also, doesn’t the jetbrains license let you continue to use the version that was the latest as of when your license ended. It’s a small difference, but also kinda huge.

        No. I know this because a couple of times my license expired, and 30 days before it does you’ll just get a little warning in the IDE - or in tools like Resharper. After that it just stops working.
