I wanted to like clion. It is so good looking and had the standard set of jetbrains magic, but wow is it slow. If I'm trying to wrestle the ideas from my brain and squash them into the editor, and then I'm suddenly interrupted with another line of thought wondering what this beautiful IDE is churning away at and I hope it's getting all these keystrokes that aren't appearing yet...that's not going to work.
- rhodysurf 10y agoAgreed. Thats my problem with pretty much all the jetbrains IDEs. I have a high specced modern MBP and its still slow and the UI locks up. Meanwhile VS and Xcode preform awesome.
- jen20 10y agoI've had the exact opposite experience - all the JetBrains IDEs have been super responsive, whereas Visual Studio could never keep up with moderately fast typing and regularly hung for minutes at a time.
- partycoder 10y agoThere are ways to make it faster. On Linux at least, putting my /tmp into a ramdisk, tuning the JVM parameters and disabling features like animations and plugins made it a bit better.
