CLion, an IDE developed by JetBrains, is part of a suite of programming tools that includes IntelliJ IDEA, Rider, Fleet, and WebStorm. While Fleet is geared towards Visual Studio Code, CLion is specifically designed for the full version of Visual Studio, particularly Visual C++. As it shares the same core as IntelliJ, CLion has a similar user interface, extensions, and advantages and disadvantages as that platform.
CLion is heavily focused on CMake and utilizes the CMakeLists.txt as its standard project format. It also integrates with open tools such as clang, clang-tidy, and GDB/LLDB. One of its major advantages over Visual Studio is its cross-platform capability, as it is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. Additionally, CLion provides full cargo support for Rust developers.
