I really wish they'd roll the CLion C++ support into their IDEA releases, so I could just use one tool for multiple languages.

We do plan it in some future (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-4141). However, due to historical and some technical reasons, it's not that quick, so postponed for now until we find some resources for this task.
you should at least get the makefile support from C++ in there.. people use makefiles for bootstrapping docker all the time. https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEABKL-5173
That's good to hear. And I concur with the other reply here that additional build systems are going to be needed. I use CLion every day at work, but I have to maintain my own CMakeLists.txt and keep it in sync with our actual (Makefile or Bazel/Blaze) builds.
Same thought exactly!

CLion has had python for a while so that kinda covers a bunch of my use cases but I still need java

That and also having integration with other build systems like Gradle native would be perfect - I could have a single build system for the entire project instead of that CMake junk.
I have come around to CMake. I've come to really like it because of using it in CLion.

But having it as the only option is definitely restrictive. And not competitive with Eclipse, which is more flexible on this front.

I just bought the all-you-can-eat license.
