I just noticed that Jetbrains have an early access program for Resharper for C++. Has anyone tried it? If so, what are your initial thoughts?

If it can do half of the stuff it does for C# then that'll be really awesome. I also noticed that they are launching CLion, their own C++ IDE. Any thoughts on that?

Clion looks incredibly awesome, I have been looking forward to it for a while. I like that it integrates CMake directly into the IDE (Like Kdevelop) and has a proper snippets engine alongside the amazing refactoring tools that Jetbrains always has. I don't think people who use premake or other make systems will be very happy as many find CMake to be a cobbled together mess.

Anyway, have been using the EAP for an hour or so and some refactoring is missing that I like from C# like using the class before actually creating it and I haven't yet found a way to determine how it creates a class when it does (In multiple files with each file in a different location.

damn, I hope it will compete against visual studio because Microsoft is in a serious need of a ground shaking disturbance in the force; so that we can avoid to get served the same stinking problems every release, in declined versions.

Also what I'd love most, is an IDE that's capable to plug mingw's g++, intel XE cc, ISPC, microsoft cc, and clang, with their respective debuggers, and switch between those with a simple combo box before compilation !

That would be awesomeness in bar.

Reminds me of Tomato Visual Assist. I'll keep and eye on it... thanks for the news!

I use both VisualAssistX and Resharper for C#. I tend to favor VAX for intellisense etc but Resharper for refactoring, navigation and alt-enter behavior.

My only complaint about the Intellij platform is that it's somewhat slow. But every single IDE built on top of this platform (Idea, Pycharm) has an extraordinary amount of helpful features, and the code completion is superb too. So I think it's good.

So yeah, only concern there is snappiness.
