This is like hiring construction workers, but not having money to buy them a hammer and nails. This ridiculous notion that software developers need to use free tools and neither they or their employer can't pay for any is very odd to me.

In developing countries , Rider's license fee is a non-trivial fraction of a developers pay.

I'm not sure how much money do devs in developing countries make, but I have a all-products pack license from JetBrains, and I pay around 20 EUR per month, which is equivalent to like 2 starbucks coffees.
