Jetbrains: Increased Subscription Pricing for IDEs

The price is going up $6-10 on the All Products Pack. Individual products are going up $6-30. The lower priced products are going up $6-10, the more expensive ones like IntelliJ Ultimate are going up $18-30.

It's a price increase, but not excessive. They also let you pay now for several years ahead which means you can lock in the current price and save a bit of money. I think they started doing that the last time they raised their prices, back in 2022, IIRC.

Like anything else in life, if they see business, they increase price. It was Vmware and many others.

I see no wrong on doing that, so you if think it brings value to you, pay the price.

Most of the times, you will do well with open source products that are also free.

Vscodium is nice, Zed is also good, but you can use Vim for programming.
