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.

I've been paying for the entire IntelliJ suite for years as they're the best IDEs out there. The quality of the code completion and analysis has taken a bit of a dip in the last year, but that still puts it ahead of everyone else. It is a bit pricey but it's not actually that bad particularly when you consider that the terms of the license grant continued use of the current version of the IDE if you cancel your subscription.

I too have been paying the their suite for years, but am using last year’s versions because of that quality dip, which was not only code completion but issues with error highlighting.

I hope it’s gotten better
