people don't have a good answer for visual studio community edition when they talk about switching to linux. there are other ides that run on linux that potentially rival it in quality but i wouldn't know since i can't afford those. and the free alternative (vscode) is just flat out worse

say what you want about microsoft but if it weren't for their free offerings of visual studio i probably wouldn't even have a gamedev career

edit: non-commercial is incompatible with the whole "career" thing

@privateger @eniko I think the JetBrains IDEs are very good, but Eniko builds games and sells them, so I don't think that a non-commercial license will do.

@chielk @privateger yeah that whole pesky career thing kinda necessitates selling stuff >_>

@privateger Most people who do programming do at least some programming commercially... For professional tools, those "free for non-commercial use" licenses are really nothing more than a way to get college students to use the tool for free so that they'll have to pay for it once they graduate
