I'm sure there are some closed softwares left worth paying for but personally I would stop paying for all of it.
The only software left that I pay for is phpstorm and it's buggy as hell and for every bug report I get a "well, nobody really cares". Then what the hell am I paying for?
Well I'm paying for features not found in other systems but seriously, it soeerds my work up by 300% and slows it down by 200% due to the extreme amount of bugs.. it's not acceptable for a paid product but unfortunately there is no good alternative open source product yet.
What is it in PHPStorm that isn't available in any other editors or IDEs?
I don't know other IDE's very well, haven't used others in years.
Amongst things... PHPstorm allows me to rename a method and it will automatically rename that method in any extended class, interface, etc, and any call to they method too. It usually, mostly, does a reasonable job at it, but sometimes it forks up big time.
I guess I am willing to try eclipse again, see how well that goes.
