  Im not sure this is new for LLM's. I know plenty of devs who would be lost without Jetbrains Inellij, Microsoft Visual Studio, ReSharper etc etc etc

  IMHO Freemium models and paid subscriptions to tools make me much more likely to purchase as the possibility for ad-supported, data selling and en-shitification are reduced drastically with a simple, pay for what you value
