Yea, it’s only recently I’ve been buying licences for things that make my life (as a dev) better

Sometimes you can afford it, and sometimes you can’t.

I 100% get what you say, but that’s a lot of money potentially - which is where I think vscode /vim etc shine in that it’s free and can do the same kinda thing
