I feel the same way. Although the college I go to gives it's students free licenses of all JetBrains products, I'm planning on paying the subscription anyways.
It's a proven known marketing technique. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean that negatively--I'm also a student with the same free license and I love their products. It's one of the reasons I'm always more surprised more companies don't offer more freebies to campuses and schools--when I was in massage school, there were lotion and everything samples EVERYWHERE, all over, because the companies knew that the tools you learn on and grow into and pick then while learning are super formative and thus a really great way to build loyalty.
I really, really love the Jetbrains stuff.

Same. I've never been attached to developer tool of any kind until IntelliJ.
Edit: Well, any of the Jetbrains tools. Pycharm, Android Studio, PHPStorm, etc.
First tool I've ever paid out of pocket for.
Same here - it's CLion for me, but I came to it via IntelliJ
