Shame.. Maybe I should re-enroll myself at a University?? I'm kidding.. Looks like I have no choice but to purchase their monthly sub, but I'm still comparing my experience with it with what I'm used to with VSCodium.. but so far, I'm in its favor..

They have some discount for open source, students and other things. You can send them an email and explain your situation, you'll never know...

Here's a tip for you: their beta version (EAP) is always free, but not available all the time, if you're fine with some plugins not working

Looks like it's too late.. But I don't think it's a good idea either.. Beta version sometimes crashes, imagine that in the middle of your work, the IDE suddenly crashes, or worse, it didn't save your work.. I did consider downloading the crack version from torrent sites, but it didn't have the latest version.. I wanted the latest features and support for Vue and Typescript..

I'm no longer a student, and I have no open-source project of my own.. So, I don't think I can convince them to give discounts.. It looks like I have no choice but to buy at full price..

You get a loyalty discount in the second and third year, so do you only pay the full price once.
