I had previously never written c code in an IDE before and using clion has been a great experience for me. In the past I had written C code using text editors such as vim, but I chose to start a new project in clion and was quite happy with the experience created by netbeans. The ability to debug, version control, and the UI were some of the great benefits of this product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

This may be more of a personal preference than anything else, but I was not a big fan of the automatically generated makefiles that clion creates for you. I ran into problems with a project here because the autogenerated makefile was a little weird. I ended up writing my own makefile. This isn't too much of a knock against clion but it was the only problem I ran into with the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Very easy to use IDE.It integrates very well with version control software like Git. Student evaluation period is free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not have as many features as Visual Studio has, like the intellisense,though it does a pretty good job of autocompletion Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to easily use cmake to build everything Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s pretty good, I would like the bottom panel to be better at switching between terminal and debug Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The VCS feature included in the IDE allows for single click commits and updates straight from GitHub.

The Debugger is super powerful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The occasional unresponsive auto type is a pain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CLion presents a lot of interesting features that I found useful:

- C/C++ , Python and Swift languages support

- Cross platform build

- Good editor

- Easy setup

- CMake and directories control

- Support Git

- powerful

- Simple Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't really find anything that i dislike. CLion is fulfilling all my needs as for now. Maybe, Would be great to have Qt, QMake and QBS support. also an issue I have is slow indexing/updating symbols when cmake files change. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a frequent user of IntelliJ I find myself naturally drawn to CLion and immediately at home, all the shortcuts are similar and I don't have to perform any weird finger-yoga to reach keys. The interface is well designed and things are in the places you expect them to be, not hidden away under the one menu you can never find. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Other than autocomplete being iffy at times (sometimes suggesting :: where it shouldn't be used, fixed in newer builds) I can't find a flaw in the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CLion is a very strong IDE, which comes with many features and lots of functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CLion can be a bit heavy as an IDE - it takes a while to learn and is a bit slow. For experienced developers, especially with other JetBrains software, it should be easy to adapt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I had grown frustrated with XCode's C++ support, and was using Sublime Text + Terminal for C++ development, which constitutes more than 80% of my workload.

Code bases with heavy use of templates and complicated object hierarchies were making me a lot less productive, so I switched over to CLion mainly for its IntelliSense-like code completion features. It has worked well. Automatic code generation from method signatures are also useful. Debugger support is surprisingly good too, allowing for breakpoint placement and variable lookup that are easier to use than XCode's. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

cLion only supports CMake for building applications, and that is annoying, since it forces me to continue using the Terminal for solutions that don't have CMake support. Most of the projects I work with rely on make. But even then, going back and forth from the editor to the Terminal isn't terribly bad, since it's what I had been doing with Sublime Text as well.

I also miss the Monokai theme for the editor, that happens to be present in JetBrain's other IDEs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have used this since it was in private beta so I am probably somewhat biased but my favorite feature is pretty hard to narrow down. If I had to pick just one though, it would probably be the code hinting or refactorings (yes, they actually work for C++ unlike the Eclipse counterpart). But wait, there is more: built-in VCS, live templates, themes, TODO note tracker, massive plugin system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed so far. For larger code bases, it can still freeze up and it would be nice to see some support for unit test suites soon. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Makefile integration with auto rebuild is fantastic, it simplifies that process and makes me less prone to errors because I forgot to update or modify something there after changing it in the directory. Another great feature is the native support for git (or other version control), it makes it very nice to view changes and push new changes. Finally, it also support a vim style key binding if you wish. That was so nice for me so i didn't end up with random :w littered in my code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometime it feels a little complicated to get small projects or quick programs built, it feels more geared to larger scale projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
