My point here is in response to those claiming that its BS that they are now charging for it. They have spent a ton of money further developing it, and continue to do so. I am all for open source, use a lot of it in my own code, and agree with its principals. But I also believe you pay for good stuff.
GOLAND PRICING SOFTWARE
#Goland theme software#Īnd IntelliJ is a quality product that is a fraction of a fraction of my paycheck to use it to build better software with. Of all the things people should pay for, its products that help them do their job.Įven though I pay for Deezer now instead of Spotify for lossless.So I'm paying more than what most people think I should have to pay for music streaming.I still can't get on board with $90/year (or even $50+ after a few years) for a code editor. Yes, I'll pay $240/yr on music, but feel less than half that rate is unreasonable for a tool to code. A tool which could potentially make you money no less. We all put our own values on things I suppose.But if there was a free lossless streaming alternative, I'd ditch Deezer too. The fact is GoLand's pricing is ballsy given the market rate and available alternatives. Look at apps like Affinity Photo, Designer, and Sketch for design.Those are one time fees too. That's the pricing model I'd expect from a code editor or any productivity tool (and I'd happily pay JetBrains $100 each major version). Ulysses screwed up too by going "subscription" for a markdown text editor.
