Thoughts on CLion from JetBrains for STM32 development? (sh.itjust.works)

Context :

I hate when I need to use multiple tools to achieve what I need.

In my current project, I have a few python scripts to simulate what a PC connected to a NUCLEO-F439ZI would send normally (I am not in charge of the PC software, but still need to do hardware testing).

I stumbled upon CLion which has both support for Python and Embedded C through OpenOCD out of the box. I like the modernity of the IDE compared to STM32CubeIDE, especially the auto-complete feature and code snippet, which is really janky on CubeIDE.

However, there is a license cost associated with CLion. Right now I am alone working on my projects, but eventually, the team would grow and would need additional licenses. And it's proprietary source, which isn't my preferred model.

Have you had experience with both? Or one or the other is fine as well.

I am just looking for experiences of different kind of users than me.

Thanks.

Primarily I use IDEA for Java/Kotlin, but I do use RustRover and DataGrip for Rust and SQL respectively. I used to use CLion for Rust prior to them releasing RustRover though.

So with the pricing as it is, it makes sense for you to buy the full suite since it cost 20$ than 3 personal licenses.

And that's not counting the price drop the 2nd and 3rd year.

You will find reasons to use the entire suite.

I'll have to checkout the other tools because I use C 95% of the time.
