The problem I have with subscription model for my tools is this: It removes the option for me to decide to not upgrade because the improvements are not worth the cost.<p>Note that I have been upgrading my license most every year, but chances are I&#x27;ll just make do with what I have next time around.<p>If the current pricing model isn&#x27;t viable for them, I&#x27;m sorry, but it is not my problem. It&#x27;s already the most I pay for any tool I use, and I have found it worth it so far, but coercion into a subscription model just doesn&#x27;t work for me.<p>Not a great move by JetBrains.
