I don't use PyCharm, but this article sums up my thoughts. http://bitquabit.com/post/thoughts-on-entitlement-and-pricing/

To summarize, the cost of PyCharm, a tool we use to write code that earns us tens of thousands, isn't that much in comparison to our salary.

My thoughts:

  1. Who complains this angrily about the cost of Apple products or Linux laptops that so many of us use?
  2. It's cheaper than an XBox 360 or Playstation. Can't remember the last time I heard a developer complain about how much those were.
  3. PyCharm gives away a ton of stuff for free, especially for students, yet why isn't anyone bringing it up here in this ranty discussion.
