Not the OP, but I&#x27;m also not really a fan of subscription model of any software products even though I&#x27;m OK with paying for upgrades every year. With subscription model I no longer own the software the moment I stopped paying, even if I already paid monthly fee to equivalent of perpetual license pricing.<p>But on the other hand, considering I&#x27;m already paying $158 for two of their products every year (IDEA and AppCode), being able to pay $149 (discounted rate) and also get a separate app for RubyMine and PyCharm seems like a very nice offer. (Since Ruby&#x2F;Python plugins in IDEA always lacked few versions behind.)<p>Nevertheless, I&#x27;m sad that to see another one of my most-used software goes away from perpetual license to subscription model.
