oh, oh... open your pockets guys. Here comes again!
P.D.: in one year the Community version will be abandoned. Mark my words.

This is their 3rd CEO in 25 years of existence.
Each CEO has been sourced internally.
They have a solid set of products and brand in their market, they offer comprehensive coverage of their customer's needs.
I'd say that they're doing a pretty good job with their strategy, and there doesn't appear to be any emphasis on short term revenue over long term growth.
So this is not your standard publicly listed company movable MBA/CEO replacement.
Yep, you cannot find it at a quick glance, which is the intended effect.
All IDEs except IntelliJ itself come with a community version: PyCharm, PhpStorm, etc.
IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition is available; https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/?section=linux
I used to use pycharm but just switched. Still using Android Studio but that's on Google's dime.
It's probably a safe assumption all of them will disappear then.
That said, I'm paying yearly subscription and I think it should have been improved somewhat. Rollbacking to old JetBrains version.
I hope they don't mess with the recurring discounts for subscriptions.
Honestly, the idea of getting rid of the Community version would be like shooting themselves in the foot, given how popular and passable VSC with a lot of plugins can be. I'm pretty sure nobody would actually consider doing that.
Either way, for larger enterprise projects, JetBrains IDEs still feel like the right tool for the job regardless.
