They're far from over. I tried out CLion because I just didn't have the time and patience to set up my environment for effective C++ development. No matter how well vim and emacs can support it, there's still a lot of scripting and configuration to get it to behave how you like. Meanwhile, my shiny new C++ specific IDE (that isn't Visual Studio) knows everything about Cmake, and code completion, and linting, etc. Not all of it is correct, and the IDE isn't my favourite thing to use, but it helped me focus on the code and not my setup. Even moreso when it comes to debugging.
