I am in the US but when I go to checkout the prices are listed in British pounds. Anyone else having the same problem?

#243Can anyone vouch for RubyMine? Its going to be my first venture in to the language, is it a good tool to have? I'm looking at Rubymine and PHPstorm, at these prices ill call it a Christmas present from me to me. Unfortunately lots of other people seem to have the same idea and the site is currently bricked.

I expect some of the demand is due to the fact that JetBrains releases new major versions of their products 2 or more times a year (ReSharper for example), and conveniently bundle important bug fixes into those versions instead of fixing the bugs in previous releases. So anyone who's - for example - still using ReSharper 6 will probably leap at this opportunity to finally get fixes for critical bugs in the product. N…
"More reasonable" points exactly to what I'm talking about. If the demand for this offer is so intense their servers melt down for hours on end it seems this is pointing to a huge opportunity the rest of the year to reach all those who think 4x the current sales price (whether for the full version or the update) is "unreasonable". One data point would be myself: as a single developer, spending 100€ on AppCode never f…
Flash sales like this are used to maximum revenue. They earn full price most of the year and do flash sales to get everyone that doesn't want to pay full price to pay something.
Coupons work the same way. If your price sensitive you'll spend the time to clip coupons and get the better deal. If you're less price sensitive, you won't "waste your time" with coupons and will pay full time. Sales and profits increase for the company.

If I have pycharm - is it more or less the same when I install e.g. the Ruby plugin?
I believe only IntelliJ gets the other IDEs as plugins.

If there is one thing they learn from this sale, it's that no one seems to understand what IDEA is, and how each product relates to each other!
Is it true that there's no difference between IDEA with plugins and PyCharm, etc? I haven't used these products before so have no idea and I've heard a few people saying similar things.

I've glanced through the license. You are allowed to install it on as many machines as you need as long as only you use it. I can't see any limitations on what work you can do or who for. My conclusion is that as long as you have paid for it you can use it at work but cannot reclaim expenses for it or transfer it in any way.
> but cannot reclaim expenses for it How is that a valid condition (legally)? If you bought a programming book on your Kindle, Amazon would have no legal ground to prohibit your company from reimbursing you.
I generally hate non open source software licenses but this area of the terms doesn't seem overly unreasonable to me as they are offering a discount from the normal price for individuals but without extending it to the (usually) less price sensitive companies.
