I'm mainly using Qt Creator, which has integrated on-the-fly code analysis with clangd for instance and I guess most of what you'd expect from a modern IDE, many refactorings, various unit test system integrations, SSH support...

When trying CLion on the exact same projects everything is just so much slower with no major value-add, like, even opening UI menus feels sluggish. And let's not even talk about typing text, I feel like I'm fighting my keyboard whenever I try to use it. (My computer is an Intel 6900k with 64 GB of RAM to give a point of reference)

QtCreator does a tiny fraction of what Intellij is capable of though. Also, clion is not nearly as used as intellij, which is (only slightly arguably ) the best ide hands down for java and many other languages.
