clang doesn't come with a state of the art IDE, GUI frameworks, hot code reloading, among lots of other goodies.
Then again, maybe Microsoft should join the other C and C++ vendors that have forked clang and hardly contribute anything to upstream other than LLVM stuff, which is why clang is now enjoying a comfty third place in ISO conformance, after Apple and Google decided to re-focus on their own languages.
Is that MSVS you are talking about? I don't think even Microsoft's own marketing team would've been so bold as to actually say something like that...
Still better than contributing nothing.

These features are compiler-agnostic and can be easily built on top of clangd, cling, etc.
No they cannot, clangd isn't compiler agnostic, and Clion's dependency on it is now being hindered by clang's slow pace, even if the goal is to target another compiler.
libc++ is indeed in a sorry state, but at least on linux clang is usually used against libstdc++ so it is not a huge deal. Personally I'm worried about clangd falling behind, but so far I see very very little that it doesn't understand.
What are you talking about? I use Clion just fine regardless of compiler.

Do you understand that those features have absolutely zero to do with compilers?
Then there are plenty of other ones following up clang.

The list still misses a few proprietary ones on the embedded space.
