I have nothing against well made paid software but I am not going to use a subscription model to pay for it. I am not looking for software that is looking to rent seek from me every month.

So you'd be OK paying a one time fee in order to own that version forever?

Because that's literally how JetBrains works:

12 months of uninterrupted subscription payments qualify you for receiving a perpetual fallback license.
