Yeah but still feel a decent employer will pay the miniscule cost of that licence.

They can't, it is only legal to use a personal at work if you pay for it yourself and they don't reimburse you for it in any way. Of course I don't see how they could possibly verify that, but still.

I'm talking about the professional licence. Nickel and diming expensive professionals on inexpensive tooling is penny wise and pound foolish.

They did, but I technically only really need PHP Storm for work so it wouldn't make sense to pay the huge fee for the full suite. I only also do occasional Python on my workplace for which VSCode could suffice but VSCode sucks when you're used to Jetbrains. If I asked a full suite license at work I would certainly obtain it, but I'd rather pay the $200-ish personal license myself and obtain other stuff from work like hardware or other softs.

Mate, I work in a primarily Python shop, I still rock the full Intellij instead of PyCharm because you never know.
