    It may be true that there’s no better one. Which doesn’t mean that it’s good.

    I have tried both clion and VSCode. I can’t think of many more IDEs other than Visual Studio (which I haven’t tried). I don’t think there’s many other options.

    Clion is much faster than VSCode’s C/C++ extension. For example go to definition is instant while VSCode can take 10+ seconds each time, and it doesn’t cache results. However, that’s the only good thing I can say about Clion.

    At work I use VSCode. Why? Because it works. CLion worked for like 6 months, and then it just refused to lead the cmake project, becoming absolutely useless.
