I switched from VSCode to CLion (IDEA variant) and its Rust plugin because... well... it actually works for complex C++ code. VSCode requires a restart every 10 minutes while working with a moderately complex C++ code base with some complex template logic.

Since I switched I've really come to like the polish and completeness of the thing. I have confidence that it will actually work, and it almost always does. It's fatter than VSCode in some ways (especially RAM) but that's what 16G or more of RAM on a laptop is for.
