If the prices were more reasonable (like those of the grandfathered prices, but permanent without the hostage situation) then I could deal with the fact that I need to pay to play. Now I'm forced to convert my existing perpetual license into a subscription where I'm held hostage to keep the lower price or I lose access to my product if I cancel the subscription after converting the license.Ĥ) Losing access to the software if my subscription lapses. I can swallow paying $149/year for the All Products and would do so, but I don't want to feel like a hostage where I'm stuck paying more if I take a month off of using the IDE.Ģ) $149/year is pretty reasonable, $199/year a little tougher to swallow, $249/year is a no-go.ģ) As mentioned, I made a $200 investment in an IntelliJ license with the expectation that I would upgrade each year at $100. Unfortunately, there are a few dealbreakers with their proposed model that will have me re-evaluating my development environment:ġ) Losing the grandfathered pricing if my subscription lapses. I would gladly pay $149/year for their "All Products" package (maybe even the $199). I really miss the simplified project management of the specialized IDEs.
