Speak for yourself. I've been paying for my own developer tooling for 25+ years.

What do you find to be worth purchasing?

Off the top of my head:

- The JetBrains suite of tools (Rider, CLion, DataGrip, Webstorm)

- Sublime Text

- Prior to offering Visual Studio Community Edition, I used to pay for MSDN if my employer didn’t supply it.

- Beyond Compare

- Recently paid for Tabnine Pro, the jury is still out if this is worth it.
