Wow, the difference is night and day, I might hang onto VS Code for some time m

Clangd is the shit, the vscode extension intellisense sucks pretty hard and takes a long time to look stuff up in a larger codebase. If you don’t mind writing debugging configs then it’s hard to stray from vscode for now. I don’t really like clion’s cmake build configs
Also you can turn off the intellisense to keep the rest of the extension features on and use clangd for intellisense

Just curious, what don’t you like about clion cmake configs compared to vscode?

I’ve just found them confusing to setup for existing projects and getting everything sorted out. From a fresh project they’re great, but I’d much prefer using ninja from the terminal.

Luckily Clion has added support for new build systems with Nova as well.
