I agree too on the peak being 3.3 or so - I'm still using 3.3.2 on my Intel Linux machines - unfortunately on my main new AMD machine I had to move to newer versions due to core plugin crashes in older versions in order to get it to run, and the Build Kit infrastructure is just a mess there IMO (I know it was added to allow flexibility, but I never needed that functionality, I wanted one debug build for use in an IDE, and I'd build release / deploy stuff outside of the IDE). The main annoyance I had with older QtCreator versions was that you couldn't actually text edit CMakeLists.txt files in the editor, it would treat them as Project files regardless of how you tried to open them, so had to use an external editor for those files, which seems a bit silly. It's been my main C++ dev IDE since 2010, but I'm starting to think about moving to VSCode, but not really happy with that either for editing (in either C/C++ or Rust with RustAnalyzer, but I find it good for Python and JS): auto-indent is very primitive and rarely does the right thing, and tooltip popups for hints and errors just seem random and inconsistent to me. It's functional though, but I wouldn't say great compared to my QtCreator experience of just very fluently typing out large amounts of code the way I want it.
