    IntelliJ is great for organizational settings. I would never use it for home use as there are many good free alternatives for that kind of setting.

    Most Adobe tools don’t have any good free alternatives even for home use.

    So jetbrains is “acceptable” because I don’t need to open my own wallet.

      inkscape is on a level with illustrator (maybe even better)

      for drawing: try krita

      if you want to pay money (much much less than for adobe): Affinity is on a level with fotoshop

      Another upside of Jetbrains over Adobe is that you can get edu-licenses that allow you to use every software of theirs.

      The best deal our university could get from Adobe was 25% off on Photoshop if at least 200 students bought it.
