      If you’re going to use it, you’d be paying for it one way or another; either through money or privacy. Par for the course.

          It was never to your definition of free, so you were never going to be using it in the first place. Don’t need to say goodbye when you were never here.

          Free as in free beer, not as in freedom. You can technically block undesired (or all) outgoing connections via opensnitch/portmaster, tho.

    They are good editors but feel very slow compared to even VS code.

    Try zed and you will not want to go back.

      Won’t speak to Webstorm, but hard disagree when it comes to Rider. VSCode/Zed really fit into an entirely different category from Jetbrains IDE’s. Lightweight editors vs full fat development environments. There are use cases for each.
