What a weird take. You're allowed to pay for whatever you'd like. Personally, I can't afford to pay for any JetBrains product, even if I wanted to.
Not only are there alternatives which may be better overall or better suited to someone's needs, that wasn't even my point. My point was more that it is only temporarily free, and so the parent commenter's comment of "it's free" should be taken with a grain of salt if you're considering the product.
Moreover, we're in the Open Source community: Fleet is neither free nor open source, and pointing that out here is relevant.
So it is only temporarily free. Once it's polished it will no longer be free. Better to not get tied in to something that will be taken away from you before long.
If we're going to do this whole "your source is unreliable" nonsense, can we at least get some consistency? Attack the BBC for outright lies and misinformation and siding with moneyed interests at the expense of the rest of humanity; attack CNN for the same; attack The Economist for the same; attack NYT for the same; attack the Washington Post for the same.
Also, just because their editorial opinion differs from yours doesn't mean they're unreliable. Just because they "defended Bashar Al-Assad" doesn't mean they are "fake news". There are plenty of people in the world whose world-view does not align with yours, and they aren't all lying and wrong. It should also be noted that if an article links out to other sources, then even if you don't agree with the article's editorial opinion, you can still gauge the truthfulness and form opinions on the subject by following to the sources.
Edit to add: In this specific case, we saw several news sources you are unlikely to call 'fake news' all report the same lie with tiny variations: NYT, CNN, and Politico, among others. What they said was so blatantly false, even the Pentagon denounced it. Cuba condemned the reports, saying:
Cuba’s Deputy Foreign Minister Carlos Fernandez de Cossio said the accusation is “untrue and unfounded”, arguing that the articles were “promoted with the malicious intention to justify the unprecedented reinforcement of the economic blockade, destabilization and the aggression against Cuba”.
Before you get all up in arms that a news outlet from another country or side of the political spectrum must be spewing 100% lies, you should ask yourself why you are willingly to blindly believe the entrenched western media outlets, who have proven time and again that they are used to manipulate world events, manipulate public opinion, and are overall a blight on the average man's wellbeing.
I make a concerted effort to use the full country's name (well, the initialism of its full name): USA. It's not "US", because there are many countries that use the words united states in their name (including the USA's southern neighbor, United Mexican States). It's also not "America", because every country in either of the NA or SA continents are "American".
It seems banal, and making a scene over it is not useful, but it does matter in principle. It's the same reason I try to use PRC instead of China (when the simple act of doing so would not invite antagonism), and DPRK instead of North Korea.
Edit to add: "Usonian" is a term to refer to people from the USA. (It's not the only term, there are several that get used)
