Wild indeed! Now we can use an unpaid intern with a free notepad app to do the same work for more profit. All in the name of profit for us poor shareholders

15 years ago, it was common enough for the company employing a professional programmer to pay:

$5,400 per year for their IDE (Visual Studio with MSDN subscription)
+ $249 per year for a better autocomplete extension (ReSharper)

The productivity increase justified these costs!

Wild, huh?
