I have exactly the opposite experience. When your project gets big, VS Code starts lagging.

CLion might not be the best app to start your 100 line script but it works the same on 1 000 000 line projects or even single file.

Are you using the Microsoft C++ extension or clangd?

For me both VSCode and CLion lag heavily.. whenver I tried CLion it was completely unuseable on my project https://ossia.io which is only 500kloc (and I try to try it pretty much once a year since it was in beta)

I’ve tried them all (nearly ;) ) and I always miss Visual Studio after a while. With Clang Powertools I’m the fastest with it than anything else so I’m always surprised how little love it gets on here. Maybe because fewer devs have Windows these days.

Vscode is missing showing the call hierarchy[0]. And in addition to the mediocre debugging experience compared to Intellij products, I would definitely rank it as one of the worst C++ IDEs available.
