    Jetbrains licenses are like £100 a year. What commercial project isn’t able to cover that cost.

      I’m just hopping the price won’t rise in return.

      Yet I’m not going back to eclipse.

        They give incremental discounts each time you renew so even if the price increases you’ll probably find you’re spending less each time.

          I’ve been on the lower price forever as I had a licence from before the switch.

          It’s already expensive. And having a comercial option that is affordable for normal people rather than $$$ entreprise would be good. Quitte a few paying of their own because their entreprise won’t.

        I would expect it to rise. I still think it’s worth it, if it’s a good tool for you. IntelliJ is really a good product, even if they do have their downsides. In a commercial environment, it’s totally worth it to buy a licence per developer, if it makes them more productive.
