As an interesting perspective, I don&#x27;t know a single person who pirates any JetBrains software.  All the programmers I know use their software exclusively and pay for it.<p>I can name many people who pirate all sorts of video production, 3d, and 2d art programs.<p>As for myself, maybe I&#x27;m a curmudgeon, but I try to avoid paid software at all costs.  I used Sublime Text briefly, but switched back to vim when I found a good combination of plugins (caveat: I do little programming).
