Re:Introducing JetBrains Toolbox on Thursday September 03, 2015 @12:04PM (#10165689)
I'm actually quite upset about this. I love PyCharm and I've always upgraded to most recent major version because even though I didn't necessarily need all the new features, I wanted to support JetBrains for making such great software.

So now I'm stuck using PyCharm 4.x forever unless I pay a monthly fee to upgrade. And if I stop paying I lose access to my IDE? Truly an awful way to treat loyal customers.

I can only hope that JetBrains abandons this new SaaS model or has some plan to allow users to purchase either a perpetual license or a subscription a-la Microsoft Office.

If not, then I hope Atom or Sublime Text get some robust debugging plugins for Python like PyCharm has.
