50% off any JetBrains IDE

To celebrate International Friendship Day (?), Jetbrains is giving 50% off any of their personal IDEs!

I'm not sure if that's a fake holiday created by @Durosity, but the deal seems legit.

I highly recommend PyCharm if you develop plugins (or do any other work with Python really though it's overkill for Indigo script development probably). I also do all of our Django website work using it so that's where I spend a good deal of my day.

BTW, if you have a current subscription you can use the offer to add another year at 50% off the original purchase price, which is a discount even on the 3+ year continuity rate ($44.50USD vs $53USD). It's a small discount but money is money.

For the purposes of plugin development, what does the paid edition give you over the community edition?

You mean the remote debugging? I guess that applies even on a single system since the plugin is running in the Indigo Server's context?

Yeah, the only way to debug in the IDE (because of the Indigo Host process) is to use the remote debugging feature (even though it's on the same Mac). But man is it nice to just set a breakpoint directly in the IDE and step through there (rather than having to switch to pudb or use log statements).

Got it, thanks.

IMO, I would add that PyCharm is a product that deserves users' backing for the reasons mentioned, but also because JetBrains do it right and PyCharm is an amazing product. In addition to Python development, it also natively supports a slew of other stuff like html, css, markdown, etc.

I've been using the professional version for a good while now and recommend it highly.

And I should've added thanks to Terry (@roussell) for the head's up on the great deal. I'm now paid up through 2020.
