Has anyone here had a good experience with CLion? Looking for a cross platform alternative to Visual Studio

For now, my experience is that it's free for students..

@oscarascal free is always a good excuse to use something

Check Code::blocks and eclipse

Clion is good.Myself i like the good old vim with gcc

IMHO best IDE on the market for C (like all Jetbrains IDEs actually)

@willol why do you say that, out of pure curiosity?

@accelerator there's a lot of things that are just different and that depends of preferences, a few things that I find better (very useful hotkeys for example), but there's 2 things that REALLY make the difference (for me):

- autocompletion, way ahead of any other IDE
- the "camelhump search" that allow to find files. Ctrl+n then "cjp" or "cusp" or "cupa" will find "CustomJsonParser.c", it quickly becomes very instinctive. Allows me to get rid of the file tree sidebar, avoid the mouse and comfortably save a lot of time

@willol awesome! Thanks for the info!

@accelerator master the camelhump search, you can use it everywhere in the IDE (autocompletion, search...) and it's a game changer :)

I absolutely love CLion then again I've loved everything from jet brains, if you're a vim user, the plugin for CLion vim is really nice too.
