Awesome. I wish it were an IntelliJ plugin instead, or at least would give IntelliJ the ability to syntax-highlight C++. IntelliJ can syntax-highlight a gazillian exotic languages, but not C/C++... Having two separate programs is annoying if you have projects with many different programming languages.

When the EAP is done and CLion is declared stable, it will indeed turn up as an IntelliJ plugin

  JetBrains has said that it might show turn up as an IntelliJ plugin for Ultimate subscribers, but they're focusing on making it a great stand-alone product, and they're not promising any plugin version. Similarly, AppCode is not available as a plugin.

    AppCode is also built for OSX only though.

    Because AppCode requires the iOS SDK which is OSX only.

To be fair, you need a good portion of a compiler to syntax highlight C and C++ accurately due to the preprocessor, overloading, operator overloading, and a few other features. Of course the solution, perhaps, would be to use a clang-based tool to provide syntax highlighting rules. I would hope JetBrains does something like this and contributes back to the clang project so everyone else can benefit from the bugfixes and new features they require to get their product to a good place.
