My Jetbrains software yearly subscription is the best value for money I pay for anything related to my work!

Their software just improves my productivity out of sight.

If you look at the prices for other subscriptions, then look at Jetbrains, you wonder, "How do they do it?"

I guess they're just really good at software.

DataGrip is the best RDBMS client I've ever used, hands down. It's so far beyond the competition in my experience. Maybe something like SQL Server Management Studio is really great specifically for SQL Server, but DataGrip is fantastic. I wouldn't trust most SQL clients with a production connection honestly. Getting read only constraints and commitable changes in my SQL client is a no-brainer that most other clients I've used didn't have.

My choise is DBeaver. Work consistenly good.

I have to work with SQL Server and use DataGrip wherever possible, using SQL Server Management Studio only for the pieces DataGrip doesn't support (mostly running SSIS packages). My productivity really did jump when I switched to DataGrip.

Prior to Jetbrains I bounced around with a bunch of different IDE's. When I found Jetbrains I really started to enjoy coding more.

Yes! It's so worth the money.

Seconded! And I also like how they treat their subscriptions. They reward long-term customers (by giving upto 40% discount on renewals), and even give a fallback license in case you want to stop paying them after a year. Kids do growth hacking, legends do customer retention!

I love Jetbrains products to bits but they better shift gears with their AI integration strategy.

So much this.

I'm a Emacs guy, and still use it when staging/stashing/committing stuff, but when I rediscovered JetBrains tools, it was such a joy to use, I've used WebStorm (with Datagrip paid plugin) as my daily driver ever since.

I like Emacs but JetBrains stuff just work without needing to search obscure config on the web, it's a breath of fresh air.
