I use QtCreator. Here's my experience while editing, what do you think is missing ? https://streamable.com/xm1xw9

This looks a lot more responsive/snappier than Clion. I sometimes have to wait half a minute for syntax highlighting to "catch up" (not always, so I don't understand what ails it), or for it to pick a new method/classname to appear in auto-completion results.

I'm not on my work machine now. I don't write C++ as much at my company anymore, as I was pushed into a more (regrettably), so I can't recall an example from the top of my head now. But there were definitely instances where you can pass in something, and it doesn't error until you hit the "build" button (or run a build via cli). And even then, the editor doesn't report where the error is in the "editor area", you have to read the file/line in the console.
