"great addition for JetBrains lovers"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CLion?

I use on the daily basis PyCharm and RubyMine, so CLion felt so... familiar for me. I didn't have to learn how to use the interface and all features because I knew them well. I am a CS student, I have to use many different languages - it was really exhausting when after three hours of working in PyCharm I had to switch, for example, to Eclipse to write a program in C. I am not saying that Eclipse is a bad IDE, but transition between PyCharm and Eclipse wasn't smooth.

What do I love in the CLion? Well, refactoring tools, code generation, code analysis and rich code formatting options are my favourite features. And it's cross platform! It works really well on my Fedora machine.

But the main advantage, for me, is that JetBrains offers free licenses to students. Great initiative! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CLion?

The plugin repository is not so extensive as in some other IDEs. I had some problems with importing old projects to CLion, but there is a high chance that it was my fault :) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CLion:

If you use any other JetBrains IDE you'll love CLion. I am not sure how beginner friendly this IDE is, but I am sure that it's worth of try. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CLion solving and how is that benefiting you?

I increased my productivity. Thanks to CLion now I have unified set of IDEs - PyCharm, RubyMine and CLion. Time needed to switch from writing a site in RoR to writing a neural network in C is limited as much as it's possible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Much easier developement in C"

4/5

What do you like best about CLion?

C lion is able to detect some of the early and easy typos and mistakes in C that take the most time during compilation. This is great and saves a lot of time. Another great feature is the search across all the files in all the projects and identifying the instances of a variable across all the project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CLion?

Sometimes linkinglibraries and Makefiles in Clion is harder than using the terminal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Clion. Master of all C/ C++ IDEs"

4/5

What do you like best about CLion?

VI integration with all IDE tools given. Simply put I can use all of the skills I've learned in VIM in a powerful IDE. This is incredibly valuable. I can run any macros I'd like on my code while still having quick access to all of the available tools such as debuggers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CLion?

Not much variation in themes. At this point I'm pretty much nitpicking. Overall the extensibility of the intellij platform doesn't leave much to improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CLion:

If you're looking for an easy to use platform with all of the tools you need for development in one place then consider CLion. It makes for a quick on boarding experience for any new hires and streamlines the development experience for existing employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CLion solving and how is that benefiting you?

With CLion I've been able to view my company's C++ codebase through all of the powerful tools and plugins that an intellij IDE provides. With VI integration I was able to code with the speed and flexibility of VIM while still having easy access to the debugger and build system. Instead of having 5-6 different tools open in different terminals everything comes together in one IDE to give developers the most streamlined development experience.

"Useful and keeps getting better"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CLion?

You get the familiarity and extensibility of the JetBrains family of IDE's. If you've used Android Studio before, then you will love CLion. You get line by line debugging, integration with CMake, and all these good things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CLion?

Some of the part of the IDE are still in the works. Does not feel as smooth or well thought out as Visual Studio at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
