Cube Drone: LETTER TO JETBRAINS.

[Screen: Dear JetBrains,
Having introduced a new subscription model for your code editing tools, I'd like to suggest some compelling new features to help get developers on board with subscription fees:
* PyCharm allows developers to charm real snakes
* IntelliJ softly sings code to sleep
* ReSharper writes your code for you
* hold StackOverflow hostage somehow
* arrange an "accident" for Vim & Emacs
* PHPStorm intelligently replaces all PHP with code from randomly selected better language]
