No C++ support, I suppose.

I was really excited until I realized that. A C# IDE on macOS is cool, but damn I would kill for a better C++ experience on Apple. Xcode is ok, but it's code completion is buggy and there is no refactoring support... I've heard CLion is cool but I'm kind of poor and don't have the spare cash for it.

Eclipse CDT has definitely getting better - quite happy with it now for C++ projects. Code completion and navigation works well and you can just import a makefile-based project.

I really like CLion, you should check it out, there is a 30-day trial. Qt Creator is also a decent IDE for C++, which is free (the Qt Open Source version).

CLion is like $8/month. That is the price of a couple of coffees. I think it is worth that IMHO.

Pricing for developer tools tend to look more reasonable when you amortize it over the year and put it in Starbucks terms. Same thing for hardware upgrades. There's no real excuse for not investing in good tools.

Indeed. Even the full JetBrains package is good value even for a hobbyist programmer. People spend thousands on fishing rods and golf clubs for their hobbies yet when it comes to software they scoff at anything over £30.

Having said that I think a community edition of CLion will be needed in the not too distant future as the competition in the C++ IDE space is improving with VS now free and Qt Creator.
