Why lifetime license vs subscription?

Everything is subscription these days. I remember when you bought software on a CD... it was yours, forever.

Somewhere along the way, we accepted that paying 60/year for a Git client was normal. But here's the thing: Git hasn't fundamentally changed. The workflows are the same. The commands are the same. So why should I keep paying every year for the same tool?

GitUX is a solid 4 week trail, if you like it then 24 once.. for life. That's it. No renewals. No feature gates. No "oops, your subscription lapsed and now you can't access your repos."

Which tool chains do you (or have you) worked with as product managers?

My current work place, the tool chain from discovery to delivery is kind of a little wild... a mix of gsheets/gdocs/miro/figma/notion/jira and slack..
In previous places we stuck to teams + conlfuence + jira

Which do you use?
