On: We are turning into subscription slaves (2023)

Similar to Jetbrains.

I do pay annually because there are real benefits with each release, but I'm not doing a subscription for your git client.

The worst are subscriptions where you pay and a perfectly fine product gets worse over time.

This also properly aligns incentives. You continue to pay as long as updates provide value to you. As soon as updates provide no or negative value you can just cancel payments and stay on the version you like.
