I do too, but many of us hate the subscription model. To go from having a certain level of autonomy to feeling like little more than a peasant in JetBrain&#x27;s little software fiefdom...<p>That is the problem with these models. Perpetual licensing grants the user independence... subscription licensing holds your tools hostage unless you pay up. $25 for adobe here, $20 for jetbrains there, pretty soon $20 for windows, $20 for office, $20 here $20 there $20 everywhere... it adds up. <i>Maybe</i> all of these companies will stay in business... if the software was sufficiently popular. If not, then POOF<p>It didn&#x27;t used to be that way. It doesn&#x27;t have to be this way. Some of us prefer to pay once.<p>That said, JetBrain&#x27;s previous model was pretty shitty too... if you wanted to sit out a couple months and wait for the next version before renewing your license, those fuckers would backdate your purchase so it began on the last day of your previous license. Jerks...
