Jetbrains has a huge marketing presence and lives off a small number of users to pay the bills.

They infiltrated my college and got all of our students to use phpstorm for free. Upon graduation they smack you with a huge cost to continue.

I imagine quite a few grads didn't want to learn a new IDE.

To be fair, having it for individual use comes at a fair price[0]. The real money[1] is when the grad students go into their jobs and demand jetbrains IDEs since, as you said, they don't want to learn a new IDE.

I’ve brought my jetbrains license with me to three jobs. I see an IDE as no different than a mechanic’s tools, and relatively speaking a personal JB license is less money than a mechanic spends on tools in a year.

Technically, if it’s a personal license, that’s violating the license terms since jetbrains only grants it to you for non-commercial use, but I’m not aware of them enforcing this to any degree.

You are allowed to use your personal license at work. https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb/articles/207240855-Can-...

I find Jetbrains quite acceptable compared to other commercial dev tools. Their licensing is also easy to manage.
