While not perfect, I think JetBrains made an acceptable compromise with their new subscription licenses. Getting stuck with a 1-year-old version rather stinks if you decide to cancel, but you're never "stuck" without access to a product you rely on because you decided to stop paying.

We stopped using ReSharper (and paying for upgrades), so we never paid for that new subscription.

It was not pure fault of subscription model though. ReSharper became too slow in the recent years.
