I had a surface book at work about a decade ago. Honestly if apple came out with something like that I would maybe consider it. But compared to an iPad this will just feel bulky. And compared to a MacBook does the touchscreen even add anything?

I’ve always thought the licensing for Jetbrains IDEs is a pretty fair way of licensing software. If you stop subscribing you still get access to the last version of the software you paid for but you don’t get new versions anymore. And if you stay subscribed you get a loyalty discount after your first and second years. So it provides an incentive to stay subscribed long term but if you do leave you still get access perpetually to the last version you bought
