I'm normally very allergic to (A) buying software and (B) subscription plans, but I do both for Jetbrains IDEs.

It's nice to have a familiar and functional option available for various languages/stacks that I can also use at home, that isn't tied to a particular employer, and which which works on multiple OSes.

One key aspect is that one can use older versions indefinitely, even if the subscription lapses, so I don't feel like my projects or workflow will be "held hostage."
