Java-Based and Chromium-based IDE suck a lot on large code bases.

The same IntelliJ can't compete with Eclipse on handling large scale projects.

CLion gets all the bad from IntelliJ .

On this point of view, Visual Studio 2019 has improved much more on a performance perspective and can still handle large scale projects.

So far, I prefer VS and QtCreator, which have also a free license too. I don't understand why CLion hasn't a Community Edition just like IntelliJ
