JetBrains produces a continuous stream of improvements to all of their tools, previously they would have to artificially hold some of the bigger changes back to justify the next big yearly version number increase. With subscriptions, this is no longer necessary, everyone can have the latest and greatest right away.<p>And I do hope the next logical step is to offer an optional fully hosted service that has feature parity with something like WebStorm. There&#x27;s cloud IDEs out there, but they&#x27;re lacking when compared to JetBrain&#x27;s tools.
