JetBrains might not be my friend but they don’t hold anywhere near the dev tool monopoly Adobe does for artists. Know what happens if JetBrains starts to blow massive ass? I finally sit down and figure out how to get my terminal editor working with my LSP. Yeah I lose some productivity but not as much as I’d lose by using Visual Studio or fuckn Eclipse.
Also, doesn’t the jetbrains license let you continue to use the version that was the latest as of when your license ended. It’s a small difference, but also kinda huge.
It’s the version from when you paid your annual subscription (or 12 monthly payments ago) plus any bugfixes.
So you buy 4.3.2 and you will always have access to 4.3.Z
2 months later they release 5.0.0. Your subscription let’s you use 5.0.0. If you cancel your subscription then can go back to your perpetual version 4.3.Z
At least that’s how it’s supposed to work
If you are interested there is a great repo to get you up an running on neovim without messing with anything. I got LSP support out of the box and took me less than a week to fully transition away from vscode. It’s called kickstart and is maintained by one the neovim contributors. I’ve done minimal tweaking months later.
