Personally, as a polygot developer who works a lot in both Visual Studio with ReSharper and IntelliJ, this is an overall cost savings for me and simplifies things a lot. Instead of paying my $99&#x2F;yr to renew IntelliJ, and another $129&#x2F;yr to upgrade ReSharper - I can switch to the $149&#x2F;yr &#x27;everything included` plan and get a couple tools I don&#x27;t already have (CLion being a big one).<p>If you&#x27;re the kind of person who doesn&#x27;t maintain their existing S&amp;M subscription then it will end up costing you more, but typically this will break even for people that do regularly maintain them.<p>EDIT: Am I honestly getting downvoted because I&#x27;m not hopping aboard the wold-is-ending-because-subscriptions-are-bad circlejerk? I expect this kind of behavior on Reddit, not HN.<p>It&#x27;s not like I&#x27;m telling anyone &quot;you&#x27;re wrong&quot; for not liking the changes, but I certainly hope I&#x27;m allowed to state my opinion too.
