I will never pay for anything intellij again. Not because I don't have the money, not because I prefer everything free like a happy little munchkin, but because I loathe them for creating the best IDE for ruby and keeping it paywalled for 10+ years despite java/kotlin and python editors having community versions. IMO it basically killed the language. Now that ruby is uncommon, they released a community edition like a joke.

What killed the language is being so married to Rails that no one else thinks of Ruby in another use cases.

And the performance, that has made people migrate to JIT powered platforms like Elixir/Phoenix on Erlang.
