To continue the analogy, most woodworker&#x27;s tools are 1) well over three years old, and 2) have consumable components which cost well over Jetbrain&#x27;s highest subscription cost every year.<p>Not to mention, once purchased, a woodworker won&#x27;t get upgrades to their tools, or have problems with them fixed as part of their ongoing cost.<p>Consider it a contribution to a team whose tools you obviously enjoy, to ensure both that updates keep coming and you&#x27;re not stuck with a three year old tool because Jetbrains couldn&#x27;t afford to stay in business.
