CLion Pros and Cons

I didn't have to learn how to use the interface and all the features because I knew them well Easy to install The support for the Debugger is surprisingly good as well, allowing the location of breakpoints and the search for variables that are easier to use than those in XCode Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed so far This usually manifests in long wait times to build symbols. I have to manually start Clion from the command line for it to recognize the current path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Autocomplete, unique fonts and interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes it's hard to work with custom compilers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A very nice IDE with Embedded Development Support in EAP 2019 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When adding a .c or .h file, this does not get automatically added in the CMakeLists when crosscompiling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

C Lion has it's own unique interface and fonts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some libraries not working when using integrated terminal Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Besides having the same look and feel as IntelliJ, the GUI debugger is just great, integrates really good with most libraries and autocomplete is just great and as other Jetbrains products it integrates git support by default and has links to download Cygwin inside CLion when you need to setup a new C environment Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No Make support so you must convert Make to CMake all your projects, that's not so fun and it kind of lacks plugin support compared to other C Ides Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI is the same as all IntelliJ IDEs, so anyone who has used them in the past will have no problem picking it up. The code completion and other features are some of the best. Unlike some IDEs, it even does a pretty reasonable job of reading template code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It struggles with large projects, particularly ones with lots of dependencies. This usually manifests itself it length wait times to build symbols. In the most recent project I used it in, the debugger would often freeze and then crash, an issue I wasn't having with other IDEs. Additionally, it would be nice if build systems other than CMake were supported (Make, QMake etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that CLion lets you use all the modern C++ features. The syntax highlighting is good, as is the debugger (really good)! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The integration with CMake is not as good as it could be. It forces you to use CMake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

c lion is a very nice and helpful ide for C. The code completion, verification, and debugging are all very nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

no real complaints about c lion, it would be nice if there was a community edition Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As is typical with JetBrains IDEs, this is a powerful, feature-rich development tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a slight learning curve, and setup can be difficult if never done before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Tons of built in tools, semantic coloring, auto-complete, VCS integrations and so on Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes time to find 3rd party themes, I would like to see more built in themes Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
