So true! I bought a license for WebStorm on that end-of-the-world sale they had a while ago and never cared to actually install it. Definitely going to check it out now.



I tried to sign up for the end of the world sale, but their servers were down and they won't honor the discount now. I don't blame 'em... but would love it if they threw me a bone for something like PHPStorm.


Don't they offer free licences to people who contribute to open source projects? The did for ReSharper and (something else I've forgotten.)


They do, it's a really painless process. I submitted an application during the end of the world sale and within a day or two I had a licence. I then felt bad at getting it for free during the epic sale, so I also bought an intellij license out of my own pocket to even things up :)


I can scarcely believe that I too did exactly this.

Although I guess Textmate has benefitted from this kind of thing over the years.
