This probably also explains why it&#x27;s so hard to find a good editor. So many devs are totally unwilling to pay a decent amount for anything. Maybe the exception being hosting. Outside of hosting a server and dns and an SSL cert, it&#x27;s hard to get engineers making 6 figures to spend more than $50 on a tool they use every day of their working life.<p>Intellij recently switched to a new plan that adds up to like $15 to $10 a month for all their awesome (but very specialized) IDEs and people are going nuts over how much that is. It&#x27;s nothing. But devs want to pay for very little. So we get shitty tools. Like vim[1] or atom[2]. Thanks I guess. Seriously can I have a generic text editor that&#x27;s as good at editing as IntelliJ is at Java?<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;geoff.greer.fm&#x2F;vim&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;geoff.greer.fm&#x2F;vim&#x2F;</a><p>[2] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.floobits.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;14&#x2F;developing-atom-plugins-so-much-potential-so-many-bugs&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.floobits.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;10&#x2F;14&#x2F;developing-atom-plugins...</a>
