Refactoring capabilities are woefully inadequate or just don't work, intellisense is often plain wrong, it doesn't detect when a rebuild or when cmake cache needs to be regenerated often enough, the list goes on and on
- mdaniel 5y agoIf you don't like VS, you may enjoy CLion, as it uses CMake as its primary build system. I was flabbergasted at how poor the Refactor menu is in VS, and I now understand why Reshaper makes so much money https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/ https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/ If you're an adventurous person, you can also use their EAP builds for free until the EAP cycle ends: https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/nextversion/ https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/nextversion/ They always say "EAPs are pre-release and may have sharp edges" but TBH I've been choosing the EAPs because they often come with the most features. Only 1 out of every 20 releases has some kind of "wtf" experience
