For me, that would be Secure CRT. I have yet to find a terminal emulator that matches its feature set. If you regularly manage hundreds of machines using various connection protocols (serial and ssh mostly in my case) It's worth the $$$, and so far there hasn't been any subscription nonsense. I liked using it at work so much I forked over the dough to have it at home.

None of the free alternatives do everything I need.

I'll also mention a few iOS apps. One is Sun Surveyor. It's an AR app that shows you the position of the sun, moon, and galactic center at any given time. The other would have to be Radarscope. It's a weather radar app, but it's a really good weather radar app.

Jetbrains Intellij IDEA Ultimate. 100% worth the price.

Big fan of the all products pack.

As a former Eclipse user I can vouch for this as well.

Why not?

[–] Magnum 0 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Why should I pay a thousand bucks a year for it? I mean have you heard of emacs and neovim?

[–] bhamlin@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago

Perhaps purchasing as a company. For me as a person the everything pack is under $300/year. And repeat subscriptions get a discount, so I'll pay even less for it next year.
