  I've been using JetBrains tools since 2004/2005, and I've become so attached at the hip to IDEA, CLion, etc. that it has become hard for me to work in anything else. And it's really bitten me recently because the codebase I work in (C++, Chromium based) just won't index in CLion, it's so massive that CLion just pukes. That and with my remote work situation I'm really down to mostly using CLI tools, so it's back to Emacs (which I like, and have made work for me, but it's ... not the same) I fear someday having to do job interviews and having to get up on a whiteboard or use some half-assed shared-coding IDE, because my fingers and eyes, they really want JetBrains products there... I don't type out for-loops, I use generators, etc. etc. it's all so much faster...

    Ironically though many think CLion as a better IDE than Eclipse CDT, Eclipse CDT actually works smoothly for large projects like Chromium (https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs/linux/eclipse_dev.md https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs...), Firefox (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_guide/Eclipse/Eclipse_CDT https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Developer_g...) or the Linux Kernel. I've successful used it with Chromium when doing some WebRTC development. Last time when I praised CDT for embedded Linux developing, I was downvoted by these vim/clion lovers...
