Really my biggest thing for jetbrains is the cost, of course my company pays for a license on my main machine but I've been paying for a personal license as well and have been thinking of making the switch to Zed/NeoVim/VSCode etc. for a while just to save a few bucks every month.
I am not particularly bothered by the speed but the AI suggestion clutter is quickly becoming an issue for me :( I type fragments of a line and it will suggest the next 5-6 lines. They may not be outright wrong, but they might not represent the way I like to do things . Pressing Esc. and refocusing on what I was going to type in anyway is a disruptive experience.
I am on the same boat. The only one I was still using was datagrip, over the last months it became unbearable slow and started crashing due to memory.
It depends. For C# development Jetbrains Rider is second to none. The number of static analysis, refactorings, inspections, dynamic analysis, slow code paths hightlights, profiling, etc. It just cannot be done in neovim no matter how I would like to switch. For C++ (like the OP’s case) — maybe the situation is different. I’ve heard CLion is a meh. — Also Jetbrains IdeaVim plugin is the best vim emulation I’ve seen. N…
Once every year or so I get annoyed with a bugged JetBalrains update or memory leaks. IdeaVim has been one of the main things pulling me back to JetBrains for a while now, although the neovim extension in vscode is also very good these days.
> Granted, I tend to run older hardware, but it seems that most other programs on my machine run fast and happy I'd really like some context here. Because for some people this is like "My M4 is out of date now the M4 ultra is out" and for others it's "I think computers really took a step back when when we started to talk about Gigahertz and Gigabytes, a 386 is all I need".
It is of course sluggish to index large projects, but it's equally slow on my brand new Ryzen system. Otherwise it's completely fine. It was my main daily driver dev machine until 2024.
I swear : Good JVM settings can make Jetbrains IDEs fly with performance. Startup is way faster too. I like ZGC. And having the IDE grab more RAM immediately on startup than the default. Something like Xms=4g or however it's done. I cannot understand why Jetbrains keep the VM settings as constrained as they do. It's a big difference.
A lot of the things JetBrains does are questionable, particularly the way they write UI applications. One would expect from a company that spawned a widely used JVM language and a JVM IDE that they would know how to write responsive Java UIs, but apparently, they don't. They are doing some really weird stuff like mixing up Skia with Swing, it’s just a big mess. The worst part is that most people will end up thinking Java is the issue. Ironically, Microsoft has done the same to Visual Studio which is incredibly sluggish these days.

I've used kdevelop a bit lately, it's ok.

Not who you are replying to, but the new Lexus RX350h takes and absurdly long time to be ready to drive away, if you want to use the rear camera to help back out of the parking lot.
Wait, don't you reverse into a parking space and drive straight out?
