I agree Qt Creator is really good, and VSCode with the Microsoft C++ extension is probably not quite as good.

However with the Clangd extension it is much much better. Even better than Qt Creator. 100% accurate C++ code intelligence, really really fast error squigglies. Honestly I was kind of surprised it's even possible to get it that good.

It's not quite on the level of Dart (which is basically instant and perfect), but I'd say it's on the same level as Rust at least in terms of responsiveness and reliability.





Qt Creator also supports clangd: https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-preferences-cpp-clangd.h.... Personally, I haven't tried it yet.

Nah, it isn’t much much better. It’s at best the same.

Clangd is clangd. It integrates the same everywhere.


I meant Clangd is better than Qt Creator's native code intelligence. I haven't used it for years so I didn't know it integrates Clangd now.
