Don't need to go all the way there. I always heard that jetbrains make the best editors. Yet when my job forced everyone to use CLion I saw that it was just a lie. The editors aren't good, they are just expensive.
There are 2 easy examples:
Remote developing sucks. Loading a remote cmake project takes ages. Yet if you remove the temp directory it's almost instantaneous. Except when you do it too often and clion refuses to sync the files, then you're fucked because there isn't a "sync" button, it only happens automatically.
The commit log is awful. It doesn't by default show you the commit/branch you've checked out, it shows the chronologically most recent commit. There's no "go to checked out commit" button either, you have to write the hash in the search field. Which btw the search is trash. If you write 6 of the characters of the hash it shows "there are no results", yet when you write the 7th, suddenly your commit appears.
