Editor/IDE, whatever. People claim both about jetbrains.
If you want a purely editor-thing:
Whatever vscode does with Ctrl+D (I don't know the name). Ctrl+D is probably the hotkey I use most in vscode (probably more than Ctrl+S), yet CLion doesn't have that. I've searched multiple times the whole settings for it.
Those two examples are just the ones that most recently occurred to me, it has a lot more issues. For example the lack of a staging area. You can't "git stage" in CLion.
And I don't think that the git integration is free from criticism. Git integration is one of the most important features of IDEs. It's absolutely valid to criticize it.
The autoformatter also doesn't work correctly when developing in remote. Which means that unless I want my PRs to have thousands of lines of whitespace changes, I can't use the auto formatter.
Now I don't know if this is a CMake issue or CLion. But at one point It was "#include"ing a struct from a header file I had deleted 1 hour previous to the build failing. The only way to fix that was to create the file again and delete it again.
These complaints might seem small. But put together they are hours of wasted time that you don't expect from the "best" of something.
