If you can get used to some oddities, Xcode works well enough for any C++ code you write yourself, or have enough control over to make sure you follow the conventions it expects.

But if you need CMake support within your IDE, CLion's worth it, just get the JetBrains subscription (student or professional) and don't look back. Oddly enough when I last used it, CLion didn't work with Clang-based projects quite as nicely as Xcode (it preferred GCC) but that might have changed since then.

Finally, if you want to support open source, you can try VS Code. It mostly works, but it's not an IDE.

Eclipse CDT also exists, but ... I think the last time I tried eclipse was back in the mid-2000s before RubyMine when there was a Ruby-on-Rails plugin for Eclipse. I haven't looked back since...
