No More JetBrains Products for Me

2 days ago

Zed editor v1 is now the user's primary editor, praised for its speed, responsiveness, and compatibility with VS Code's environment.
The user is ending their long-term use of JetBrains IDEs like CLion, despite appreciating their UI, defaults, and debugging tooling, due to severe performance issues.
Performance frustrations with CLion include slow startup times, sluggish file creation with loading screens, poor project switching, unreliable remote development, frequent re-indexing, and large disk space usage.
These cumulative issues hinder productivity and discourage programming, leading the user to switch to Zed for a faster, more seamless workflow and expected improved happiness.
